[Paraview] [ParaView] data from multiple servers rendered in the same view

[claude]

Hello Sam,

thank you for the quick reply, I may not be doing it properly then. Each
time I toggle on the object to view, it ignores the current active
viewer and opens it in a new viewer/layout tab (or the viewer already
"linked" to the server if I didn't close that view yet). 

I attached 2 snapshots trying to show the behavior: each time I toggle
on one or the other data, it switches automatically the layout (here
"layout #2" and "layout #3"). Even if I close one of the layout and keep
only one, it will recreate a brand new one.

The servers are started with "$PARAVIEW/bin/pvserver --multi-clients"
and Paraview is started with "$PARAVIEW/bin/paraview --multi-servers".
Is this because the servers are both data+rendering and I should instead
have 2 data servers but one rendering server maybe?

Thanks again.

cheers

claude
