Save animation progress percent is wrong?

ParaView Support

I noticed this today while saving an animation - the progress bar dialog seems to be tied to the value of the time, rather than frame numbers. For example, note in the screenshot below that at time 0.05 (of 1.0) the progress bar says it’s only 5% done, but actually it’s on frame 15 of 42 and should say 36% instead.

Anyone else seeing this?

Indeed, this is coherent with the code I see in pqAnimationScene.cxx :

  int progress = static_cast<int>(
    (cueInfo->AnimationTime - cueInfo->StartTime) * 100 / (cueInfo->EndTime - cueInfo->StartTime));
