Dear all,
thanks for your input to my question about dublicating filter.
I'm still a bit puzzled that sth what I'd need on a daily basis and seem
so simply to me, doesn't really exist :-).
Does anyone understand what these

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.science.paraview.user/14764
posts are about? Do they understand sth different from dublicating a
filter than me?
Sorry, maybe my messages are a bit confusing - I was looking for this
cloneing filter not only for one single special purpose, but I'm really
missing it on a daily basis for various applications and I am (or was at
least) so ambitious to look for one solution that solves all of these
applications, but probably I should give that up and deal with
case-to-case solutions, which you gave me already quite some hints for!
With the "artifical" time-series (thanks Sam) and custom filters (thanks
Felipe) I should be able to solve most of my issues!

@Sam:
That's a great idea for producing a lot of identical plots, thanks! The
only thing that would go missing then with respect to my current plots
is some text, which I had adjusted for each dataset, sort of like a
title. (I haven't yet checked your pvd file since it was not attached to
the email for and I haven't yet figured out how to get it, so maybe
there is a solution for that in the pvd file which I ignore for the moment.)
Still, it doesn't satisfy me completely for other purposes, for example
when just wanting to apply quickly the same clip to 2 or 3 datasets and
comparing them side-by-side.

Martina,
Given that you have 20+/- datum sets (and one geometry?), you might be
able to construct a pseudo time sequence by labeling the files:
myjob001.vtu, myjob002.vtu, myjob003.vtu, ...
(Note. The file-ending "*.vtu" refers to an XML-formatted datum set)
ParaView will assume they are a time-sequence and you can use the
animation to perform the identical display processing on each image,
When you are satisfied with the results, save the animation as *.pgn
images; you will get one frame in each datum set.
If you already have a naming convention for the *.vtu files that you
want to keep, then you can use a *.pvd meta-file to specify the
pseudo-time sequence, see the attached *.pvd file as an example. (The
part-tag allows sub-datum-sets; in my case there are different
materials. The name-tag is currently a do-nothing; it is not required.)

Thanks Felipe, I had been trying that earlier, but somehow I never
managed to create custom filters. Now I tried again and it seemed to
work at least for simple things like Thresholds or Clips. I have to test
further how it'll be in my more complexer filter-chains.
Subject: Re: [Paraview] copy-paste (or ,> clone/dublicate)
the other way around is to create a custom filter to group all your filter into
one and expose only the desired properties.
Felipe
