Please keep the discussion on the mailing list so that everyone can contribute to and benefit from the answers.<div><br></div><div><div>We don't have a clean way to disambiguate between when a series of files means temporal extent or when it means spatial partitions (or both for that matter). In the case of PNG ParaView thinks it always means temporal. To get around that you could either:</div>
<div>1) make a plugin (an XML only plugin might work) that exposes vtkPNGReader's SetFilePrefix and SetFilePattern interface. See the ImageReader proxy definition in readers.xml for an example.</div><div>2) from the python shell, instantiate a VTK level vtkPNGReader and vtkImageDataWriter to convert formats into something that ParaView recognizes as a volume.</div>
