VCR Controls Broken with Temporal Collection XDMF File
Summary
When a temporal-collection XDMF (version 2) file is loaded by ParaView, the "VCR Controls" at the top to navigate through time steps are disabled.
However, the "Time Inspector," available from the "View" menu can be used to navigate through the time steps. Further, when "Save Animation..." is selected from the "File" menu, all of the frames export as expected (see attached screenshots).
Note: the LLNL VisIt utility can correctly load and display the attached test case.
Issue observed with ParaView 5.7.0 on macOS 10.14.6.
Steps to Reproduce
- Launch ParaView 5.7.0
- File -> Open ->
vcr_breaker.xdmf
- Select
XDMF Reader
from theOpen Dataset
dialog. Click OK. - Click
Apply
to view the data set. - Change to the "Surface" representation of the
myquantity
array. - Rescale to data range over all timesteps to observe changes as time is traversed.
- Note that the VCR controls are unavailable.
- View -> Time Inspector.
- Note that the right-hand arrow buttons to navigate time step by index functions and permits traversing through time.
