[Paraview] create Animation from .pvd files

[Felix Wolfheimer]

Hello!

I use .pvd files to load different parts of a vectorfield from a 
distributed simulation into ParaView. When I try to create an animation 
using those files ("Action: Filename" in the animation section), 
ParaView seems to load and display only the first part of the data 
listed in the pvd file. For example: If I create .pvd files named 
"a_field-{timestepnumber}.pvd", which contains

<VTKFile type="Collection">
<Collection>
<DataSet part="0" file="a_field-part0-{timestepnumber}.vtr"/>
<DataSet part="1" file="a_field-part1-{timestepnumber}.vtr"/>
</Collection>
</VTKFile>

then ParaView creates an animation using only the data from 
a_field-part0-{timestepnumber}.vtr. The data from 
a_field-part1-{timestepnumber}.vtr is displayed but does not change 
during the animation. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance
