[Paraview] How to simply "Reload" a data file

Hi,

I wanted to try the "Reload" button which presumably can be created by one of the methods outlined below. But I am maybe too naive or am missing something: I have a Windoze binary distribution of ParaView 4.0.1. I did not find the file indicated by Cory, and copying the xml code given by Sébastien into a file and loading that as plugin had no effect visible to me.

What am I missing here?

Thank you,

Matthias
