Summary0005360: Feature request - option to read in data from all time steps
DescriptionI know that there are lots of arguments against having an option to read in all time steps before setting default values, but we keep getting requests from users. Here is the latest:

I have finally figured out that the rescale Data Range function works on
the current time step rather than across all times steps This was
disconcerting because I could not find some data in the visualizer
because the range was set by another time step. Any way I can change
this default to look over all the data to get the range or set it
explicitly?

Maybe we could add a button to the information tab to get the range for all time steps?

For 3.6.2, lets limit this bug to just reading in the last timestep. It would be really nice to add an option to the settings dialog that allows the user to choose either the first or last timestep. Default to the last time step (matching EnSight).

What should we do for 3.8.0 - write up another bug that is more thorough?

As per Utkarsh's suggestion, I am moving this back to 3.8. It really should be fixed correctly (whatever we decide that means) for 3.8.

For 3.8, I would like to propose the following:
* User selectable options. Nicer again would be a threshold that we could set in the settings panel - above some size one functionality, below some size, and different functionality.
  - ParaView goes to last time step, sets min/max range from last time step. (Default, or for small data)
  - ParaView stays with first time step. (for large data)
  - ParaView updates every time step. (Only if user selects this option.)
