[Paraview] Problems loading saved states

Tue May 15 05:34:07 EDT 2012

Ooops – thanks for the hint.  I did a test with a very basic setup, and
reloading the state worked just fine. Hopefully, that was not only
coincidence.

Thanks again,

Christoph

Maybe the ° in °C is causing the trouble?

Please find a little sample attached. The message I get when trying to open
it is this here:

        ERROR: In ..\..\..\..\src\VTK\IO\vtkXMLParser.cxx, line 483
        vtkPVXMLParser (000000000C09BE60): Error parsing XML in stream at
line 3771, column 35, byte index 186690: not well-formed (invalid token)
        Root does not exist. Either state file could not be opened or it
does not contain valid xml

Looking at the pvsm file in the appropriate line, I don't understand all of
it, but can't see anything  suspicious either.

You can try to look at your pvsm file and see if you find something
suspicious. Otherwise, if you can share the state file without the data, you
can send it to us so we can try to track the problem down.

No, not that I am aware of. We do have those weird special chars in 
German (ä, ö, ü, ß), which I've learned long ago better to avoid in 
technical software. And I did, as far as I can see.
But, since you mention it, I did at one point have the feeling, that 
ParaView doesn't treat the german standard notation for decimal 
numbers (decimal comma, separator point) consistently. My system is 
set to that format, but (most, possibly not all) numbers in ParaView's 
menus appear in anglo-saxon notation (decimal point). Unfortunately, I 
can't find an example for exceptions right now.
Could that be something?

Is it possible that you have some non-ascii chars in your state file 
that could come from your field data ?

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
