Folder pathname breaks time series mechanism in ParaView
Reading temporally organized files from a directory path that has an underscore followed by a dot in its name, eg. something/path_1.1/VTKFdir/*.vtp
breaks the time series ordering mechanism in ParaView.
In such a case all files in the time series are loaded at once, and their temporal dependence is not recognized.
Steps to reproduce:
- Download and extract the following set of temporal
.vtp
files.
- Place the TracerVTK folder into another folder named
path_1.1
(or any other directory path that contains folder with_
followed by.
in its name). 3.When thetracer_t*.vtp
files are opened, they are not loaded as a time series, as seen below.
If parent directory path pattern is changed to something else e.g., path1.1/
, path1_1/
or path.1_1/
, the same files are loaded as a time series without any issue, as seen below.
