Summary0004438: Cannot decouple pipeline time from animation
DescriptionThere is no way (that I can see) to decouple the pipeline time from the animation time. That is, if I load a file that support time (like Exodus), then I cannot create an animation that does not step through time in the file.

This has been fixed. vtkPVAnimationScene takes an animation cue for pipeline time making it possible to animate pipeline time independently.

Would it be possible to have a single keyframe on the TimeKeeper-Time track so that if the user wanted to fix the time it could be done more easily by fixing a single time step?

After discussing this issue with the group, we decided that there is only one use case that is not handled well enough. This is specifically when the user wants to hold the pipeline time constant and animate something else. The other use cases, playing pipeline time with the animation and starting and stopping the pipeline time, are handled about as well as they can be.

Ideally, we would like some special GUI widget(s) in or around the pipeline time track that would allow you to specifically set and hold the pipeline to a particular value. However, we did not come up with any particularly good idea on what this would look like. In the end, we decided to throw it over to Clint to see if he could come up with some miracle GUI component to do this. Otherwise, I guess we punt.

Specialized the keyframe editor for pipline time.

Clint, you deliver as always. Could I ask for one more, hopefully small, special case for the pipeline time? Right now when you set a constant time, you don't see the effects of the time change until you play the animation or otherwise change the animation time step. In this one special case, it would be better if the pipeline time was updated immediately so that the user could see the change in the data timestep.

set the current time on pqTimeKeeper when constant pipeline time is set.
