This is an optional file that will be created when the user saves preferences under the Edit → Preferences... menu, the Data option. It contains two basic things: the name of the reader desired to be the default format in the Data Reader dialog and which reader names that the user wants to appear in the open dialog format list. The file must be called ensight_reader_prefs.def and be located in the user's private preferences directory (see the section introduction for path specifics).
The format of the ensight_readers_prefs.def file is as follows:
Line 1: VERSION 10.200000
Note: This need not match EnSight's version number.
Line 2 (optional): select readername Where readername is the name of the reader that will be used as the default
Line 3 on: remove readername or add readername Where readername is the name of a reader that will either be hidden (remove) or shown (add) in the open dialog format list.
The following is an example data reader preferences file which hides a few of the readers:
