[Paraview] [EXTERNAL] state file

[Cory Quammen]

Alan provided the new way to do this that works nicely and relieves you
from having to clear ParaView's state and reload a state file.

If you do want to clear ParaView's state and reload it with the new files,
that will be possible in ParaView 5.5. When you load the state file through
File -> Load State menu item, you will see the "Load State Options" dialog.
Change the "Load State Data File Options" to "Choose File Names" and click
on the ... toolbutton to navigate and select the file series. When you
click OK, the new files will appear in the series.

Cheers,
Cory
