Summary0013179: Individual file open not possible of multiple file dataset
DescriptionWe cannot open an individual file of a multiple file dataset. For instance, (and this is true for any multiple file dataset), file open, then go to z_pinch1. If you click on the + sign, I see the following:
z_pinch1.exo.8
  z_pinch1.exo.8.0

What I expect to see is as follows:
z_pinch1.exo.8
  z_pinch1.exo.8.0
  z_pinch1.exo.8.1
  z_pinch1.exo.8.2
  z_pinch1.exo.8.3
  z_pinch1.exo.8.4
  z_pinch1.exo.8.5
  z_pinch1.exo.8.6
  z_pinch1.exo.8.7

Found on git master, Linux, local server.

I am leaving this normal priority, but it would be really nice to have.

The bug seems to be related to the location of the files as well. e.g. if I move the z_pinch* files to /tmp/, all's good. Create a new directory /tmp/foo/ and move them to the this new dir, and the bug surfaces.

commit b9daec33b23f04efa7bf81911bb830f03cefe360

    BUG 0013179. Fixed pattern matching issue causing files to be hidden.
    
    Files in a file-group sometimes were hidden away due to incorrect filtering.
    Updated the filter to handle filtering of names in a file group by testing the
    group's name rather than the name of the file itself.

    Model used invalid index for some API when dealing with groups.
    
    This resulted in the dialog using incorrect items when testing for
    isHidden/isDir etc. This was causing the "special" behaviour as documented on
    BUG 0013179. Now the bug is consistently reproducible, no matter where the files
    are placed.

Nope, not fixed.

The Open dialog box now works correctly, but when I actually try to read one file (for instance file number 2), all the files get loaded. Only that file that I select should be loaded.

Tested Windows, local server, master.

This now works for some file types, but not others. Exodus and CTH are still broken. For instance, the Exodus reader is opening up the series if any single file is chosen.

The issue is that exodus and cth automatically look for sibling files in the same directory and open them.
I prototyped a change that detects when you select a single file in the gui and uses a new property on both readers to disable that behavior. In gerrit review though, it was suggested that a better approach would be to deprecate that behavior and let the gui specifically tell the reader what files to open, since it can do that now. To do so, we need to add an addfilename method, and use the repeat_command attribute in the xml property, and in the case of exodus add a list of lists of files to the fileseriesreader so that the exodus reader will be given the entire set of files rather than just the first one.

This is impacting yet another customer. Don't slip past 5.1.

Alan, this one of those that I'd classify under "Exodus rewrite". Currently the way exodus handles file series is complicated and confusing. It totally ignore what the ParaVIew UI tells it and just goes about finding files on its own. I believe that code would need to be rewritten/updated.

OK. Maybe it's time to rewrite the Exodus reader. Maybe for 5.2? 5.1 is filling up, this early in the game... Or, want to try for 5.1?

This functionality does need to get fixed, however that happens.
