Dear Cory,
Many thanks for your reply pointing out the known limitations and suggestions
for restoring with python. I tried to give that a try:
https://github.com/romangrothausmann/ParaView_scripts/blob/146aa352d1a3ada203bcf91d17e11c169bc99583/pvsm-multi.py#L44-L61
but am stuck at the python error:
TypeError: SetProperties() takes at most 1 argument (2 given)
while the docs suggest to specify 2 args:
https://www.paraview.org/ParaView/Doc/Nightly/www/py-doc/paraview.simple.html?highlight=getproperty#paraview.simple.SetProperties
What am I missing here? Do I have to set each property by itself (i.e. from
GetProperty) or can I just set the whole list of properties from
ListProperties() in one go?
Is the approach for restoring to go through all objects from the last LoadState
the right one?
Many thanks for looking into this.

Hi Roman,
It turns out ParaView was not designed for this use case because of
certain difficulties discussed here:
https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/issues/17442
In your Python script, you could manually cash all the properties of
the existing representations and restore them after loading the most
recent state file.
The functions
reprs = GetRepresentations()
repr = reprs.values()[0]
props = repr.ListProperties()
GetProperty(repr, props[0])
would be helpful for this.

Dear mailing list members,
It seems that PV (and paraview.simple.LoadState) by default hides already
loaded objects (and resets e.g. their coloring) when another state-file is
loaded.
Is there a way to load multiple state-files after one another without hiding
and resetting already existent objects? I.e. a way to concatenate multiple
state-files and leave their objects in the state as they got loaded (e.g.
colored, hidden/visible)?
I do understand that loading a new state-file will reset the camera, but not
the rest.
Here's my initial attempt to achieve this with pvpython:
https://github.com/romangrothausmann/ParaView_scripts/blob/90eb4ca8499070bed941d50b89ebea82fd6a9e23/pvsm-multi.py
Any help or hints are very much appreciated
Roman
