[Paraview] Save Animation option in ParaView 5.4.0 vs 5.3.0

[Moreland, Kenneth]

Mark,

One more thing to help until the num frames/time step comes back. If you want to use the sequence mode and get a time stamp that reflects the time in your time step, try using the Annotate Time Filter (as opposed to the Annotate Time Source) and attach it to your data. That should report the time of your data instead of the global ParaView time. (There is an exercise in the ParaView tutorial demonstrating this.)

Hey Mark,

Looks like we took that out as part of the revamp described here:
https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/issues/15917

Specifically this merge request took out the "No. Frames" entry.
https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/merge_requests/896
because, at least at that time, apparently the control didn't do anything at all.

A 1 commit merge request that restores the widget and hooks it up to do what it apparently did at one time is
here. https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/merge_requests/2197

Hello,

In ParaView 5.3.0 and earlier, when Animation mode was Snap to TimeSteps, in the Save Animation dialog box there was an option for No. of Frames / timestep. This doesn't show up in the 5.4.0 dialog box. Was this just moved or was it removed completely?

My use case for this is a data set with 25 timesteps, each of which is on the order of either 5 minutes or 30 minutes apart in real world time. I'd render 30 frames / timestep to get a 25 second movie to show each discrete timestep for one second. The video should show those discrete jumps in time and not use interpolation.

I can do the frame replication in BASH but it was handy to have that option.

Thanks,
Mark
