[Paraview] Names in *.pvd file

[Amy Squillacote]

Hi Henry,

I don't know exactly why the Extract Parts menu is grayed out, but I have 
attached a sample .pvd file that does make the listed names appear when you 
apply an Extract Parts filter.  Maybe you can determine what difference 
between this file and yours is causing the problem.
