You can get most of what you want very easily by using the custom filter feature. To create a custom filter that is a composite of Extract Time Steps and Temporal Interpolator, do the following:

  1. Add both the Extract Time Steps and Temporal Interpolator filters to your data as you are doing now. Make sure that you set options that you want hidden, such as Selection Mode and Time Step Interval to the value that you want.
  2. Select both the Extract Time Steps and Temporal Interpolator filter in the Pipeline Browser (using shift-click).
  3. Select Tools -> Create Custom Filter.... This will start a wizard to help you create your custom filter.
  4. In the first box of the wizard, select a name for your filter (such as “Temporal Select and Interpolate”). Click Next.
  5. In the next two boxes of the wizard, use the default definition of the inputs and outputs (i.e. hit Next twice).
  6. In the final box of the wizard, select the properties you want exposed. For example, click on ExtractTimeSteps1 and then select Time Step Range from the Property chooser. Then click the + button.
  7. Now click Finish

The new filter that you created is now available in the alphabetical filters list (and the quick search box). If you go to Tools -> Manage Custom Filters, you can export your custom filter and import it into other instances of ParaView.
