OS:                Linux

Opening files with marble have been a really frustrating experience in many cases. There are a few things that could be done to improve this situation:

I don't think disabling "otherplaces" display should be possible in the map themes. In the resulting state, opening files with marble becomes a very bad/frustrating experience, because there is no result, if the file only contain placemarks/waypoints. In fact the state should not be possible at all! Alternatively, the user should of course be warned when attempting to open a file that contains placemarks.

If a file contains elements that can not be displayed for other reasons, warn the user.

After opening a file, zoom the map view to the bouncing box of the files visible content.
