[Paraview] Get name of object in Pipeline Browser

[Lars Bilke]

 Thanks for your answers! 

John,
where on the gui-side do I need to pass that string? Do I need to modify the ParaView sources? Because I only want to write a plugin which should be redistributable to colleagues which have only the ParaView binaries installed.
And your suggestion assumes that I only want to export one actor right? What I want is to export all actors in one step.

Make sure the SetProxyName(char*...) method doesn't call Modified. (ie don't use SetStringMacro)
