Thanks for your answers! John, where on the gui-side do I need to pass that string? Do I need to modify the ParaView sources? Because I only want to write a plugin which should be redistributable to colleagues which have only the ParaView binaries installed. And your suggestion assumes that I only want to export one actor right? What I want is to export all actors in one step.
