Geoff,

When one sets up display properties from the Display tab, these properties apply to the way that data is shown in the current active view. When state file is loaded, all current views are destroyed and new views, as specified in the state file, are created and only those objects that were visible in the state file remain visible. Since new views are created (and old ones destroyed) all the changes you made to the Display tab are lost.

Actually, there's even talk of deleting all existing objects before loading state. If that's done then you'd even loose the disc source.

I'm not sure if this is a bug, or if I'm just misusing the tools. Please advise. To duplicate what I'm seeing:

(1) Start with a blank scene. Create a simple object (e.g. Sources -> Cone, and Apply).
(3) Save it as a .pvsm file (File -> Save State)
(4) Exit ParaView, and restart it.
(5) Create another simple object (e.g. Sources -> Disk, and Apply).
(6) On the Display tab, click "Set Solid Color" and pick a color for the disk. (7) Restore the previous file (File -> Load State). The disk disappears. (8) No problem, we simply make the both objects visible by clicking the "eye" icon in the Pipeline Browser.

(9) Now for the unexpected part (for me, anyway): When the disk object reappears, it has lost its color, and is rendered about twice as large as before.

Is this how it's supposed to work? Thank you for any insight you could offer!
