Select time step
This issue was created automatically from an original Mantis Issue. Further discussion may take place here.
Our users expect to be able to select time steps when loading a file with time steps (such as an exodus file). Right now there is no way to directly select a particular time value. You have to load the data, consult the information panel, and then copy the appropriate value into the animation inspector.
I think the easiest way to satisfy this request will be to change the animation panel to change the time range semantics when in sequence mode. When in sequence mode, the "current time" should be displayed as the time step. The range should also be grayed out or be time indexes rather than values.
Users will still complain (rightfully so) that it is non-obvious and frustrating to change the time step in this mannor. However, we are already planning some major improvements to the animation controls in PV 3.2 including a slider bar to select the value. We can address this there.
