Thanks for answer.

Does ‘client base’ means if I go to [https://kitware.github.io/paraview-glance/app/](https://kitware.github.io/paraview-glance/app/) and open my local file.  
the file never uploaded but stays in my computer and browser do the work?  
So no get or post request ever happened after the page loaded?

I guess I just follow this answer

Is there an easy way to automatically link the Glance app with the data file so that the end user doesn’t have to “open/load” the data into Glance. I don’t really plan to change, recompile or host my own Glance app, but just automatically add or pre-select the data file?

Thanks a lot.
