Hi,

I am trying to upload time series netCDF files, to use the animation feature in ParaView.  
Paraview only recognize the first file of the group.  
Is there a way to upload the files as a group for the animation?

It is working well here. Can you show a screenshot of your folder containing the time series ?

Can you show the information panel ?  
Can you share your dataset ?

I’m unable to reproduce your issue with my own files. You will have to find a way to share your data. You can use file sharing website.
