[Paraview] Trace?

[Timothy Cale]

David:

Thanks. I do indeed have a lot of learning potential.

WRT Trace: You indicate that Trace should record a save action?

I am not sure why Trace (the way I used it) did not record the Save
Data action during my
GUI session.

What should I do to get Trace to record that action?

Regards,
Tim
