Description
Attempting to open an alignment file (File -> Input Alignment -> From file) which doesn't exist results in the attached error.
The more 'natural' error would be to report that the file doesn't exist, rather than suggesting it is an incompatible format, which should indicate more clearly to the user what the issue is, and avoid sending them down a rabbit hole of staring at their file trying to work out what is wrong with it.
