Hello,

There is a new button in the openfile dialog, named “toggle file sequence grouping”, which enable to choose to see files like s1 s2 s3 s4… grouped or not.

I want to create a Paraview-Sites-Settings.json with this option setted by default. Is there any chance that there is already a setting variable for this ? (I did not find it empirically).

Thanks =)

Eloïse

I’m afraid this setting is indeed not saved in the .json settings but in the .ini Qt settings, which do not support site settings. It could be added though.
