Not adding empty (None) properties did not help (<a href="http://github.com/romangrothausmann/ParaView_scripts/commit/d3af645dd1af2a" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://github.com/romangrotha<wbr>usmann/ParaView_scripts/<wbr>commit/d3af645dd1af2a</a>). Anyway, "ForceUseCache" has a vector of value 0 so it seems to me the actual problem still is that ListProperties() returns properties that are not part of the specific object that is calling ListProperties(). E.g. help(repr) does not list a property called "ForceUseCache" but e.g. "Visibility"<br>
<br>
So I decided to only restore the property "Visibility" for a start:<br>
<a href="http://github.com/romangrothausmann/ParaView_scripts/commit/d1c63f2682e834e" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://github.com/romangrothau<wbr>smann/ParaView_scripts/commit/<wbr>d1c63f2682e834e</a><br>
Even though there is no error on execution any more, the resulting PVSM has only the visibilities set for the last loaded PVSM, i.e. the setting of the "Visibility" of representations loaded from former PVSMs did not have any effect.<br>
Is there a need to call some kind of Update() to make the property setting have any effect? I tried some rendering (<a href="http://github.com/romangrothausmann/ParaView_scripts/commit/294ff85a0cc7a" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://github.com/romangrotha<wbr>usmann/ParaView_scripts/<wbr>commit/294ff85a0cc7a</a>), but that did not help either.<span class=""><br>

Looking at your original problem with the error:<br>
<br>
<br>

TypeError: AddProxy argument 1: method requires a VTK object<br>
<br>
<br>
You are hitting this when attempting to set the DataAxesGrid, which is a ProxyProperty. In your dictionary, this entry has value 'None', but it looks like setting a property to value 'None' is not handled correctly in servermanager.py. As a workaround, I suggest filtering out properties from your dictionary that have 'None' as a value, i.e., do not add those property values to your dictionary.<br>

Hi Roman,<br>
<br>
It turns out ParaView was not designed for this<br>
use case because of<br>
certain difficulties discussed here:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/issues/17442" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://gitlab.kitware.com/par<wbr>aview/paraview/issues/17442</a><br>

<br>
In your Python script, you could manually cash<br>
all the properties of<br>
the existing representations and restore them<br>
after loading the most<br>
recent state file.<br>
<br>
The functions<br>
<br>
reprs = GetRepresentations()<br>
repr = reprs.values()[0]<br>
props = repr.ListProperties()<br>
GetProperty(repr, props[0])<br>
<br>
would be helpful for this.<br>

Dear mailing list members,<br>
<br>
<br>
It seems that PV (and<br>
paraview.simple.LoadState) by default hides<br>
already<br>
loaded objects (and resets e.g. their<br>
coloring) when another<br>
state-file<br>
is<br>
loaded.<br>
Is there a way to load multiple state-files<br>
after one another without<br>
hiding<br>
and resetting already existent objects? I.e.<br>
a way to concatenate<br>
multiple<br>
state-files and leave their objects in the<br>
state as they got loaded<br>
(e.g.<br>
colored, hidden/visible)?<br>
I do understand that loading a new<br>
state-file will reset the camera,<br>
but<br>
not<br>
the rest.<br>
Here's my initial attempt to achieve this<br>
with pvpython:<br>
