Hi, I ran across something related which I am not sure if it is a bug or a feature. I found that when you have multiple file list domains in your XML, ParaView decides which one is the "main" file (i.e. the one specified with the --data= flag at the command line or the first file selected in a reader) by the name of the string attribute which is a file list domain which is alphabetically first. I found this automatic behavior a bit bizarre (at least I had the unfortunate cooincidence of the first additional file list domain I wanted to add being alphabetically after my "main" file, and the second beginning with Aa, and the reason for the "main" file switching only for the second one took me awhile to track down).
Is there a way to manually specify which file should be the main file? If not, at least I hope this helps someone else.
