[Kst] Comment character in ASCII data

Tue Oct 21 07:33:18 UTC 2014

Hi All,

this is my first post after discovering this great tool yesterday. It is
perfect for our use case. Log file analysis of serveral 100MB data. 

However there seems to be a small glitch in the comment char handling
for ASCII data.

I have log files in this kind of format:

#Time,ACC,SV,EC,EV,ColVac,ChamVac,BC,LLVac,HeaterU,HeaterI,ACU,Threshold
,SysColTemp,SysTemp2,Column_Condenser_U,Column_Condenser_I,Column_Object
iveLens_U,Column_ObjectiveLens_I

Everytime the logger restarts the first line is repeated. So I have set
up the configure ASCII Dialog comment indicator being "#" without the
quotes.

Now if I load my files everything seems to be fine except every time the
line with the "#" appears in my data it gets interpreted as some time
stamp in beginning of the UNIX Epoch (1970).

This of course messes up the graph.

Oh I tried the latest automatic windows 64 Bit build.

Any ideas?

I will try to build on my unbuntu box and see if it behaves any
different.

Thanks,

Matthias
