Hi Francis,

Do you have an idea where the bug is? If it's in Firedrake (i.e. the path is just not supposed to be there, and fixing it won't break loading these files in preview) then sure, go ahead and propose a pull request. I think the code you'll want is in output.py

Hello,

Recently I've been learning to use VisIt to view firedrake data instead of Paraview.  In part because people around me use it and also I think it looks good.

When viewing data created in serial it works very easily but I found that when I was trying to view data created in parallel it was having problems finding the files.  It turns out that one can fix this by changing one line in each pvtu file.

There is line in the file that specifies the source and has the path then the name of the vtu file.  If I remove the path and only have the name of the file then VisIt can fine the files easily.  I have asked them if there is a work around but if not is there a way to change this when the data files are create in firedake?

Cheers, Francis
