Matthias, The method I suggested requires modifying ParaView's source code, so it won't work for a binary distribution.
As for the XML method, did you try to load an Xdmf file through what should be the new "Xdmf Reader (Refresh button)" reader? If you are loading a different type of file, this plugin will have no effect because it provides a Refresh button only for the Xdmf reader. You could modify the XML for other reader types, though.
