[Paraview] Texture images paths not handled correctly with Search Files under Specified Directory

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Venke,

You script to load the textures is indeed fine. The issue with with the
state loading implementation. There indeed is a bug where it doesn't handle
texture sources.

I've reported an issue here:

It seems that ParaView changes all paths in the state file to the specified
directory except for those of the images. Probably this has to do with the
way I import the images to the texture planes: to be able to keep the
texture images saved in a state file, I do the following:

> rv1=GetActiveViewOrCreate('RenderView')
> profile=XMLPolyDataReader(FileName=['C:\\myproject\\Profile.vtp'])
> pathToTextureImage='C:\\myproject\\Image.jpg'
> Display=Show(profile, view=rv1)
> Display=GetDisplayProperties(profile)
> Display.SetRepresentationType('Surface')
> texProxy = servermanager.CreateProxy('textures','ImageTexture')
> texProxy.GetProperty('FileName').SetElement(0, pathToTextureImage)
> texProxy.UpdateVTKObjects()
> servermanager.Register(texProxy, registrationName='Profile_with_image')
> profile.UpdateVTKObjects()

under Specified Directory" is very handy for sharing PV states, so if
anyone could tell me what I should do in order to have the texture images
handled correctly, I would be very grateful.
