Summary0001880: Preserve time when reconstructing sets
DescriptionWhen reconstructing cell/face/pointSets, these seem to be written to constant time rather then to the time step they are reconstructed from. To resolve this, three lines in reconstructPar could be changed (see below).

What now happens for cases where the sets are independent of time and reside in the constant directory? Are they now written to the time directory?

No, they are reconstructed only if one uses the -constant flag and runTime.timeName() returns constant in this case, so the sets will be written to constant as desired.
At least a short test seems to confirm this.

Thanks for the clarification. I think a better solution would be for the set constructors to take an IOobject argument which can be created from the IOobject of the source sets. This would be more consistent with the way all other mesh data types are constructed from or for file. In the interim I have pushed a fix based on your proposal but with the setting of the instance just after construction rather than just before write. Please reopen this report if there are any problems with this fix.
