Description henning CLA 2011-04-21 05:42:54 EDT 
Build Identifier: 5.0.01007

Instead of throwing an exception, the application should show a popup informing the user that the file is not valid or could not be imported. It may also be helpful, if the application would limit the displayed files to those with .xls extension.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select File -> Import
2. Select Central Test Data Sets and click Next
3. Select a file that is not a valid Excel file. For example: C:\Program Files\guidancer_5.0.01007\license-agreement.txt
4. Click Finish
--> NullPointerException

I agree that the error is not nice, but it's easy to avoid, doesn't cause any other problems and doesn't seem to have upset anyone else. Marking as wontfix.

This can still be reproduced. Closed due to comment 1
