[Paraview] Problems loading saved states

[Christoph Meyer]

Hello everyone around.

 

as a newbie to this list - and a relative beginner with ParaView - I'm glad
to have found you, and very relieved by the prospect of possibly getting
some help for my present problems with ParaView. Apologies in advance, in
case my beginner-questions should turn out to be quite basic.

 

Most pressing problem is, that my installation (ParaView 3.14.1 64 bit,
running on WIN7) is extremely unreliable, when it comes to loading saved
states. In fact, that works very rarely. Most of the times, I get error
messages similar to this one

 

ERROR: In ..\..\..\..\src\VTK\IO\vtkXMLParser.cxx, line 483

vtkPVXMLParser (000000000C1412F0): Error parsing XML in stream at line 2149,
column 35, byte index 109506: not well-formed (invalid token)

Root does not exist. Either state file could not be opened or it does not
contain valid xml

 

There is no indication of any problems while working with ParaView or when
saving a state. I don't think I'm using any exotic filters (ENSIGHT-reader,
calculator, slices etc.). The crash occurs before I'm asked which data file
to read, right after picking a *.pvsm file to load.

 

I will now try to work around the problem by tracing my work, but would very
much prefer a proper start from a saved state. Any hint on possible solution
will be very much appreciated.

 

Regards

Chris
