I see your problem. Basically, when your plugin is initialised, it needs
to register the custom type. But, since there is no specific plugin init
function, there is no way of doing this.

If nobody sees any problems, we could extend the DATEDIT_OBJECT_INFO
vtable to allow an initialisation function. This allows us to call,
among other things, register_datafile_object() . If everyone is happy
with this change, I will code it.

Bye for now,
