Description Jaime Torres 2013-06-22 08:50:42 UTC 
the stderr output is as follows:
caught IOException while parsing SummaryInformation   "((quint32)_s.numPropertySets) == 1 || ((quint32)_s.numPropertySets) == 2" 
stream position:  28 
error parsing SummaryInformationStream 
Parsing and setup failed. 

This bug is about the information shown in the error dialog.
If it shows, for example, the dialog "error parsing the file ........, it could be damaged", I could have not tried to see the file several times.


Reproducible: Always

Patches welcome :-)
Comment 2 Jaime Torres 2013-06-23 08:07:24 UTC 
I see.....
It is quite difficult to know what happened with just a boolean :-(
I'll try with the canceled(&msg) signal.. But still not much contiguous free time.
