[Paraview] Some tests and questions about PV 3.10.0-RC1

[Richard GRENON]

Thank you for your answer, Robert and Sebastien.

I have read the wiki page given by Robert and I understand that I have 
to follow the "Opening multiple files" method because my files are NOT 
times series but they are pieces of the skin of an aircraft, or 
individual 3D CFD blocks. Our CFD software gives one file / block.

I agree with the suggestion of Sebastien: if we select multiple files in 
the OpenFile process, once a reader has been selected for the first 
file, keep this reader and don't ask for the reader type for following 
files, unless their extension is not the same. This would avoid to click 
OK 350 times or more, unless the user has a dataset with 350 different 
file extensions! :-D  

Best regards.

Richard
