[Paraview-developers] Reading files as Times steps, short question

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

The file series reader infrastructure will not handle the case where
the time value is deduced from the filename. You're better of simply
teaching your reader to load a set a files and determine what time
values each file corresponds to. ParaView can pass entire set of
selected files to the reader, using the following XML. You need to
provide RemoveAllFileNames/AddFileName methods on your reader class.

       <StringVectorProperty
                            clean_command="RemoveAllFileNames"
                            command="AddFileName"
                            name="FileNames"
                            number_of_elements="0"
                            panel_visibility="never"
                            repeat_command="1">
        <FileListDomain name="files" />
        <Documentation>The list of files to be read by the
        reader.</Documentation>
      </StringVectorProperty>
