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

Matthias,
The method I suggested requires modifying ParaView's source code, so
it won't work for a binary distribution.
As for the XML method, did you try to load an Xdmf file through what
should be the new "Xdmf Reader (Refresh button)" reader? If you are
loading a different type of file, this plugin will have no effect
because it provides a Refresh button only for the Xdmf reader. You
could modify the XML for other reader types, though.
Thanks,
Cory

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.
