[Paraview] Names in *.pvd file

[Karpf, Henry J]

I add the name="whatever" tag in my .pvd file, however, my 'Extract
Parts' menu is greyed out and cannot be selected. Why would that be?

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.)

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 -Henry Karpf
