[Paraview] Read files in different folders at the same time

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

I am afraid that's not possible currently. A workaround is to create a
pvd file as follows:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<VTKFile type="Collection" version="0.1" byte_order="LittleEndian"
header_type="UInt32" compressor="vtkZLibDataCompressor">
  <Collection>
    <DataSet timestep="0"  file="dir1/file0.vtu"/>
    <DataSet timestep="1"  file="dir1/file1.vtu"/>
    ....
    <DataSet timestep="101"  file="dir2/file0.vtu"/>
    ....
  </Collection>
</VTKFile>

Make sure that header matches the header in one of the vtu files.
