[Paraview] Names in *.pvd file

[SamuelKey]

Henry, et al;

Attached is a sample *.pvd file that uses the name="abc...xyz"
feature for the xml Collection tag. The big plus to this feature
is that when name="..." is present, the designated name string
shows up in the Extract Parts face sheet selection-box!!!

Regards,

Sam Key

PS Thanks to Brad King for the feature! Now, if the animation could
just see beyond the 1st  part="..." listed, we'd have a first class way to
turn domains on and off for animation like we can do now for the static
visualization. :=)  (I believe this shortcoming in animation has been
reported to the bug list a couple of times.)

I want to be able to name each timestep of my *.pvd file, sort of described
here:

Upon further investigation I discovered that the support was already
there for the EnSight reader, so adding it to the XMLCollecitonReader
was trivial.  It is present as of revision 1.10 of
vtkXMLCollectionReader.cxx in the CVS version of ParaView.

I cannot figure out how to add this to my xml file.  Could someone please
provide an example? Thank you
