<p class="MsoNormal">When you load the state file, it will load exactly what was saved. There is now an option in ParaView called File/ Reload Files. This will give you the option to load only what was in the state file, or “find new files” that belong in
this dataset. Click “Find new files”. Note also that the time counter is 0 based – thus, there are now three timesteps, 0, 1 and 2 (with the maxium being time step 2).<u></u><u></u></p>

</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>In past versions of paraview, opening a pvsm state file that read several pvtu files resulted in paraview opening all the pvtu files
in that directory. Now it only opens the ones saved in the pvsm file. This is annoying when the number of files has increased (like during a long time dependent simulation) and when wanting to use the same pvsm state file. Any ways of getting around that?<u></u><u></u></span></p>
