Hi,
I have a group of `pcd` files (point clouds) named like `000cloud.pdc, 001cloud.pcd, .. etc`.
They are recognized as a group in file loader, but when loaded, only the first cloud (i.e. `000cloud.pcd`) is shown, time span is [0,1], and there is no animation. My typical `pcd` file looks like this
``
# .PCD v0.7 - Point Cloud Data file format
VERSION 0.7
FIELDS x y z
SIZE 4 4 4
TYPE F F F
COUNT 1 1 1
WIDTH 1008
HEIGHT 1
VIEWPOINT 0 0 0 1 0 0 0
POINTS 1008

-4.2654743 15.414836 2.6162198
…
``
What I am doing wrong? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Looks like FileSeries support is missing from the PDAL reader. This is a trivial fix. Could you do it or at least open an issue on our gitlab : [https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/issues](https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/issues)
