Hi all,

I have an issue of loading the state downloaded from the drive.

I have two files on my PC, one is the data file, and the other is the state file. I am able to open the data file. When I try to open the state file, file-\> load state → chose the state file on my computer → search file under specified directory → data directory → ok. Then show the following error.

 ![捕获](https://discourse.paraview.org/uploads/default/original/2X/c/c209d1dfcb71419288b00ccbfcf92c8429126260.jpeg)

It shows  
Cannot find ‘Source 8 Cs\_pore\_Na\_gap\_AD\_exodus.e’ in ‘D:/BaiduSyncdisk/MOOSE/Model’. Using ‘C:\Users\weiqianz\Google Drive\VT!JS\_Zhang\_Research\MOOSE!LnTransportationModeling\Liquid like Ln transportation Model result\Source 8 Cs\_pore\_Na\_gap\_AD\_exodus.e’.

The directory ‘D:/BaiduSyncdisk/MOOSE/Model’. is the local PC directory.  
The very long directory after ‘Using…’ is the remote computer’s directory.

I have attached the state file below.  
[mol fraction-LabPC.pvsm](https://discourse.paraview.org/uploads/short-url/xlFVgnz3nWsBiM3Vo9u3JRKOjcw.pvsm) (1.6 MB)

The data file is too big to upload, but I can do that if needed.

Any help?

Thanks in advance.

Your file is not correctly named, so the search fails, you want to pick the file yourself using: “Choose FileNames” and choose “Ref.e” for both the FilePrefix and FileName:

 ![a](https://discourse.paraview.org/uploads/default/original/2X/4/43b2ae6a608af1f4aa405cee0ade6d4711f63181.png)

It then loads correctly:
