[Paraview] ParticlePathlines filter with vtk time series

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Can you possible share the vtk file you  are having issue with? You
can send it to me offline, if you cannot post it to the list.

Thanks

I may also choose the variable for the particles itself (TPART, see below). But for the pathlines the only options are 'Solid Color' and 'TrailId', so it's not possible to color the tracks acc. to for example TPART... Why that?
