Hi friends,
The video in the link bellow shows a strange behavior of Paraview. When I search for new files the animations keys defined beforehand last their reference time. This is very annoying. It would be very nice if a load of new files did not interfere in the beforehand defined time keys.

Can I change this behavior?
I would like to search for new files without last the animation keys reference time.
Thank you very much.

I’m not aware of any workaround for this.
Maybe we should discuss of how improve this… Any idea @utkarsh.ayachit ?
