Re: [idvusers] Domain moving coordinate aggregation?

Hi Sean/Don,

As it turns out, the Merge Timestep Sequences worked! (See attachment).
However, as Don pointed out, it requires each timestep to be in a separate
file, opened one by one, allowing only one field/display that has to be
decided in advance.

Perhaps if there was a way for the mergeTimeSequences function to somehow
be incorporated in the Data Choosers/Data Source Type menu it would be more
practical.

Sean - unfortunately the files I currently have are huge - 406Mb per
timestep - so probably impractical to upload at this time.  But if I can
obtain smaller samples I'll let you know.

Paul
