[Paraview] output vs input representation parameters

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Well yes and no. I think Stephane is asking for standard ParaView to
preserve  the representation type and other properties as filters etc.
are applied. These seem like reasonable things to do. ParaView does do
some of it already, but I admit it still have some quirks. Stephane
feel free to add it to the bug tracker.
