[Paraview-developers] Animation: spreadsheet view not synchronized with table

[Cornelis Bockemühl]

Yes, this works fine!

But it is also only one output port: In my case I have the problems not
on the first port (port 0) but only on additional ports - which is
illustrated in my stripped down code example, and also in the
screenshot.

Best Regards,
Cornelis

output ports - the first being an "unstructured grid" and the
others are tables. In the server manager XML I used hints to make
sure that the tables are not automatically opened at once (<View
type="None" port="..." />). This works nicely so far.

with empty tables. If I open now a spreadsheet view and look at any
of them this correct. But if I now press "play" and go from step to
step, only the "unstructured grid" gets updated, not the
spreadsheet view.

"play". With that I am at the last step, and opening a spreadsheet
view for the tables gives me the full tables - again correct. But
again: if I go back in time, the tables stay as they were initially
(i.e. full).

being shown immediately and the second only "on demand". Indeed I
could almost reproduce the behaviour: the first table does what is
expected, but the second not. Only difference with my full case:
the second table NEVER shows anything, no matter if I press the
"play" button earlier or later!

then I can quickly apply the fix in my own software and I am
fine!...)

plus a screenshot that illustrates the case where the second table
shows some content only in the properties panel (left), but not in
the spreadsheet view (right).
