Hi Burlen.
Thank you for this answer.
Working with state files (as we do with layout files with the Tecplot
software) is essential when you have big pipelines. Imagine you spend
one hour to build a big CFD pipeline... and you have to rebuild it each
time you want to analyze new data! Really, it would be helpful if you
could fix this problem in a future release. And also, it would be fine
if the state file could save what arrays are selected in the Tecplot
Reader (no array is selected when loading state, but is it a PV problem
or a VisIt problem ?).
The work around with the actual release is to use the "Group datasets"
filter to build a new dataset from the Tecplot readers. At least, it
works with single zone Tecplot files, but I will make other tests with
multi-zone Tecplot files.
PS: I discovered another bug. PV crashes when loading state (with work
around) referencing Tecplot files if the Tecplot files are not found!
Best regards.

Hi Richard and Dave,
I think that the way the VisIt plugin currently communicates
information between client and server is not going to work with state.
The way it is now the plugin repeatedly sends variable length vectors
of array,block,material ids,, etc one array for each mesh. Each of
these might have a different size depending on the user's selections.
In order to work around the fact that PV sm vector props don't support
variable length vectors it also expects the array of mesh ids to be
sent first, from this it sizes the other arrays to fit what will be
incoming.
One solution would be to serialize the users selections in a single
string, using sm string vector property to send server side. That
would work with state. Otherwise I'm afraid your going to have to do
some heavy sm programming.
I regret the way I did that, if it's helpful I'll volunteer to fix it.
