These proxies are actual source proxies, and participating in property of every saved "GeometryRepresentation" proxy. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">So every "GeometryRepresentation" have it's own bunch of GlyphType source proxy instances (listed in proxy_list Domain), and all of them are saved to a state file.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I can understand, that saving all of them can be explained by "unified approach" to saving proxy to state file, but I have trouble with resulting state file - we tracking it's change with VCS (git, if it matters), and so many unnecessary (cause they are identical, except GlobalId) proxies saved gives us additional pain.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">As an additional side effect we have increased state loading time. This issue might be related to appearance of saved GlyphType proxies in a state file: </div><div class=""><a href="https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/issues/17768" class="">https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/issues/17768</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but one can not change the Domain type at runtime, so this proxy_list will be constant until changed in a views_and_representations.xml. If so, than maybe there is a way to save GlyphType proxies to state file only once (or not at all) and reference their GlobalIds from any other GeometryRepresentation?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thanks in advance, </div><div class="">Artem Bodrin.</div></div></body></html>
