fixed.

This options is not correct for this file. And it is also at the wrong place in the dialog.
The columns are 1. whitespace separated, or 2. by a custom delimiter, or 3. have a fixed width, eg

4 columns width=4:
-234-234-234-234

4 columns width=5:
-234 -234 -234 -234

I wanted to do it, but the function that returns the field list is awfully complicated (why?) and I'd first need to understand how it is built up. I don't feel up to it just now.

I have put a breakpoint in it, and it does not stop when using the data wizard nor when loading a .kst from an ASCII file. Is there a sure way to know if it is called somewhere else in the code? Looking for load( does not sound like a good idea :-)
