Is it possible to extract multiple RenderViews using Catalyst? Right now, when I select and apply (for example a PNG) extractor, it’s only visible in one RenderView and stays hidden in other views. The Catalyst output also reflects the same.

Applying additional extractors for respective views only gives separate files at the end.

This looks like a limitation of the Screenshots exporters (PNG and JPG): multi view is not supported.

There currently isn’t the `Save All Views` option that is available in the `Save Screenshot` if that’s what you’re asking for but you can create an extractor for each RenderView and get multiple images.

If you want the `Save All Views` option from ParaView Catalyst you could add in a feature request at [https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview](https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview).
