[Paraview] [Feature request] Expanding PVD File Components

[Aurélien Marsan]

Good Morning,

MultiBlockDataSet is what you have when you read your pvd file. See the tab
"Information" in the Object Browser to be sure.
But in your case, all the timesteps are 0 ? .... Then maybe you should
better user a .vtm file.

However, I completely agree with you. What you suggest would be a very
convenient tool.
For a MultiBlockDataSet, in the tab "Information" of the object inspector,
it would be great to have the possibility to hide some of the DataSets, or
better, to completely desactivate some components.
Regards,

A.Marsan
