Is there a way to `Reload Files` on multiple data objects in the Pipeline with a single action? I’ll often have multiple files that I want to reload, for example there’s 16 here:

If I select them all and then right-click + `Reload Files` it only reloads the last object that I selected, as can be seen in the time manager:

Note the ticks on the final row… each file should have those same ticks. Currently I have to click each individual file, wait for ParaView to respond, right click, `Reload Files`, wait for ParaView to respond/render, then move on to the next file, etc. In this example this process takes ~3.25 minutes, so I’m wondering if there’s a setting I’m missing, or a different reload functionality I should be using.
