Extract with subset of timesteps still runs through all time, not just the subset

Able to reproduce with ParaView 5.10.1 on Windows 10 and Linux binaries.
When using the Start Time Step
and End Time Step
options in the extract properties, I expected ParaView to only cycle through the timesteps that are being dumped, not the whole time series. I could see a situation where multiple extractors have different time triggers, in which case it is easiest to go through everything.
It would be fantastic if ParaView would only go to the trigger timesteps for all extractors.
To reproduce:
- Load
can.ex2
dataset with default options, Apply - Extractors -> Image -> PNG
- In the Properties tab for the extractor: Check Boxes for
Start Time Step
andEnd Time Step
- Set
Start Time Step
to0
- Set
End Time Step
to2
- Hit Apply for the extractor
- File -> Save Extracts...
Only the first three timesteps are saved as expected, but ParaView still cycles through the full time series. This can be very time expensive for extremely large data.
