Thank you for your answer, Robert and Sebastien.

I have read the wiki page given by Robert and I understand that I have to follow the "Opening multiple files" method because my files are NOT times series but they are pieces of the skin of an aircraft, or individual 3D CFD blocks. Our CFD software gives one file / block.

I agree with the suggestion of Sebastien: if we select multiple files in the OpenFile process, once a reader has been selected for the first file, keep this reader and don't ask for the reader type for following files, unless their extension is not the same. This would avoid to click OK 350 times or more, unless the user has a dataset with 350 different file extensions! :-D
Best regards.

Richard

Hi Richard,

I've just talked to Rob about your problem and explained your point.
Rob is going to report a bug for that.
One solution we were thinking of is when several files are selected in
the OpenFile process, if we already have define a reader for a given
extension, we reuse that same reader and ask for the reader type only
for new extension where concurrent reader exist.

What do you think ?

Hi Richard,
In the 3.10 we have introduced the ability to load multiple files when using
the ctrl and shift keys. If you want to load a file series you need to
select the file series root node, not each item in the series. Doing so will
make ParaView load each file individually.
You can find a nice guide to loading files in the user
