Hi Pat, Thank you for your hint! Unfortunately I would need one more step: The reason is that the last filter after the while loop will return a vtkFileSeriesReader where I can't find or access the file information property. Looking at the doxygen documentation it in principle should have, but perhaps not everything is wrapped into the ParaView VTK module.
