Summary0014399: Problem with vtkXMLMultiBlockDataWriter and "~"
DescriptionIf you use ~ in the filename the writer runs into trouble. For example if you use "~/foo.vtm" as the filename, it will create the directory but will fail to write any files (including the top level vtm file).

Here is a sample output:

 ~ is not a recognized shortcut by ParaView. It is a shell shortcut. All ParaView files need to be defined explicitly. One could argue that ~ should be a valid directory name but given that this is a corner case, I am closing this request.
