Disable watching for HDF5 "folders" in filebrowser

Loic Huder requested to merge disable-hdf5-watching into master

In filebrowser component, HDF5 files are treated as containers/folders. This means that file watching with os.listdir is enabled for HDF5 files, which fails with a NotADirectoryError.

This PR disables the watching loop for HDF5 files. We could imagine implementing a derived watching loop for HDF5 but I think opening/closing the hdf5 file every 2 seconds is prone to errors/corruption 😕
