OK, I think I figured this one out. Thanks for the example, that helped. When you load the state file, it will load exactly what was saved. There is now an option in ParaView called File/ Reload Files. This will give you the option to load only what was in the state file, or “find new files” that belong in this dataset. Click “Find new files”. Note also that the time counter is 0 based – thus, there are now three timesteps, 0, 1 and 2 (with the maxium being time step 2).
So, I believe this is not a bug, but rather an issue with somewhat modified features.

Both act the same – they only read two timesteps. What version of ParaView actually read the three pvtu filesets?

The pvsm file was created when the directory had 2 pvtu. The directory has now 3 pvtu files. Still after loading the pvsm file I don't have the 3 pvtu files in paraview . Thanks for your help.

Utkarsh, is this an artifact of your work with datasets that live within a directory? This is a bug, right? Dennis, Do you have a simple dataset, that is open, that I can attach to a bug report, assuming this really is a bug?

Now it only opens the ones saved in the pvsm file. This is annoying when the number of files has increased (like during a long time dependent simulation) and when wanting to use the same pvsm state file. Any ways of getting around that? Thank you Denis
