[Paraview] Load many VTK from different folders at once

[Lorenzo]

I've tied that, thank you.

Now, my questions are:
1. once I've saved a trace, how I run it in paraview?
2. I see the trace keeps the files path. There's no way to include these file paths within a dot_something file in the same sintax in such a way that I'll load that file in paraview and it'll automatically load all the referenced files?

For example this file would contain something like:

geometry_1_vtk = LegacyVTKReader( FileNames=['path/to/my/file/geometry_1.vtk'] )
geometry_2_vtk = LegacyVTKReader( FileNames=['path/to/my/file/geometry_2.vtk'] )
geometry_3_vtk = LegacyVTKReader( FileNames=['path/to/my/file/geometry_3.vtk'] )
geometry_4_vtk = LegacyVTKReader( FileNames=['path/to/my/file/geometry_4.vtk'] )
…
geometry_N_vtk = LegacyVTKReader( FileNames=['path/to/my/file/geometry_5.vtk'] )

Thank you!

Lore
