Tools->Python Shell->Run Script

Better still, if you choose to save the trace as a macro (or just put
it into ~/.config/ParaVIew/Macros), it shows up in the macros toolbar
and you can just click to run it again.

The trace is just a python script. def a function that will read the
filename string, strip out the leading directory information, and
produce and loop over a list of the rest of the filenames from that.

Unfortunately python isn't tightly integrated enough yet to
automatically call your macro from the File->Open dialog.
