[Paraview] "Reload Files" Hotkey Acting on Individual Items --- Expected?

[Joel Kulesza]

Joachim,

Excellent, thank you for that snippet—it worked perfectly.  My thanks also
for correcting my terminology.

Is this something that would merit adding to ParaView's native
functionality (e.g., File -> Reload Files & File -> Reload All Files)?

Best regards,
Joel
