Hello Sam, thank you for the quick reply, I may not be doing it properly then. Each time I toggle on the object to view, it ignores the current active viewer and opens it in a new viewer/layout tab (or the viewer already "linked" to the server if I didn't close that view yet).
I attached 2 snapshots trying to show the behavior: each time I toggle on one or the other data, it switches automatically the layout (here "layout #2" and "layout #3"). Even if I close one of the layout and keep only one, it will recreate a brand new one. The servers are started with "$PARAVIEW/bin/pvserver --multi-clients" and Paraview is started with "$PARAVIEW/bin/paraview --multi-servers". Is this because the servers are both data+rendering and I should instead have 2 data servers but one rendering server maybe? Thanks again. cheers claude On 01/08/2017 10:44 AM, Samuel Key wrote: > > Claude, > > I am quite certain that I am the least qualified individual to answer > your question, but I have been an avid PV user for several years. > > As you click on each view to make it the active view (blue line around > the view's perimeter), look at the pipeline browser.
