Change rights on an image file (chmod 000 filename on linux) Try to open it. -> appeared exception There should be information dialog.
The exception dialog is not displayed any more - this has been fixed as a part of issue #51019 ("Opening corrupted file fires NPE"). Instead, a message is displayed in place of the image. The displayed message is too general - it could recognize this special case and not speculate about "broken image".
