[Paraview] Extension from Plugin-Reader does not apper - QT 4.4 issue?

Hi, I want to write a Reader for Paraview (I guess a plugin is better than directly hacking into the Paraview source). As I have to base on an vtkUnstructuredGridAlgorithm I cloned the vtkGAMBITReader as it was the shortest (Only change of name, no functionality yet). I follwed the Plugin-HowTO

Hi David, 1) You have to recognize when data is available and complete, and you need some sort of atomicity guarantee. Ie, you don't want a reader trying to read a half written file, and you don't want the some process modifying the file while the reader is halfway through reading it. 2)
