X axis absolute time and change data file problem

[Steve Maher]

First, still loving kst and using more and more =)

But I found a small issue.  Hmm, not sure whether to continue to report
bugs here or on github ... I'll continue here ...

I found an issue related to Data Wizard when browsing for a new data
source.  The browser has a 'state' that restricts what it recognizes.  If I
recently used an ASCII file, then browsing does not recognize binary
sources (e.g., Dirfile).  Conversely, if I recently used a Dirfile, then
browsing does not recognize ASCII sources.

Example of being in ASCII mode, below, which again, won't recognize, won't
recognize Dirfiles.



If I have a "Recent File" of my desired type, I can select it, which
switches the mode to Directory of Binary Files (which recognizes Dirfiles)
