So, I am guessing one _always_ extracts one of the outputs and then apply a filter. Does it make sense to apply the same filter to both outputs?<br><br>I am trying to figure out whether the output of this reader should multi-block. It sounds like it should not. It sounds like the two outputs have different purposes and should remain separate.
<br><br>Currently, paraview only handles multi-block datasets. There was code in paraview 2.4 and previous that treated multiple outputs as multi-block. This was a placeholder we implemented until we had proper multi-block support. Now that the multi-block support is mature, I yanked that functionality. The side effect of this yanking is that it is no longer possible to separate the outputs of readers like this. However, I believe that paraview should start treating multiple output differently. For example, it should show both outputs as different ports you can attach filters to. Or when the user applies a filter to this reader, it should bring a dialog asking which output they want to attach the filter to. Supporting this would require changing both the server manager and the GUI code but I believe it is right thing to do. Any thoughts?
