Summary0014406: multiblock view doesn't respect reader block selection
DescriptionI assume that blocks that are not read in should not be available to the multi-block inspector. But, it is!

* 4.1.0-RC1, Linux, local server.
* Open Can.exo. Only load the first block. Apply.
* View/ multi-block inspector.

Notice that both blocks show up. This is a bug.

Alan,

Here's the reason why this happens. When you tell the exodus reader to read only one block, the reader outputs actual data (geometry/data attributes) only for that block, however the output structure is always full and complete -- look at the information panel to see what I am talking about.

The multiblock inspector shows this structure.

We could say the reader should only output blocks that are being read, but that results in the output structure changing every time the selection is changed which can cause the filters like extract block to fail.

If it were up to me, I won't consider this as a bug. Let me know what you think.

The idea is to grey out entires when they refer to empty (or null) datasets.

Developer notes:

The widget of interest is pqMultiBlockInspectorPanel. In pqMultiBlockInspectorPanel, we can check if any "leaf" node's vtkPVDataInformation is a "vtkDataSet" and has 0 cells or points, in that case, we show the item "disabled" in the widget.

Ensure that this updates correctly as the user toggles the blocks that are read in from the Properties panel.
