[Paraview] reading timeseries with XDMFReader?

[Guillaume.Duclaux at csiro.au]

Hi folks,

I'm trying to open a timeserie collection of hdf5 files in PV (3.8-RC2) and it doesn't seem to work for me...

I first tried opening a timeserie (XDMF...xmf) 'by hand'. It seems ok, but when I try to use the VCR controls the renderer is still rendering the same scene.

Also, I had a look at the trace created when opening timeseries and compared the XDMFReader property encoding with other VTK Readers.

+ the XDMFReader FileName property has only one argument (not the list I expected):
- XDMF_00 = XDMFReader( FileName='C:\\%PATH%\\XDMF.00001.xmf' )
+ and for comparison, the  XMLPartitionedStructuredGridReader encode an array with the list of files with similar extensions present in the directory:
- fields_0000 = XMLPartitionedStructuredGridReader( FileName=['C:\\%PATH%\\fields.00000.pvts', C:\\%PATH%\\fields.00001.pvts'] )

The user doco (http://paraview.org/OnlineHelpCurrent/XdmfReader.html) describes the FileName property value has to be a single file name. Is there a way to change this so one could load hdf5 timeseries?
i.e. don't get an error message when trying: XDMF_00 = XDMFReader( FileName=['C:\\%PATH%\\XDMF.00001.xmf', 'C:\\%PATH%\\XDMF.000010.xmf'] )

Otherwise, is there any known workaround available?

Cheers

Gilly
