Improved error handling between Zview and codecs #30

Open mikrosk opened 7 years ago

There's currently no way for a codec to inform the user exactly why an image failed to load. The codec can't even call the AES to show an alert box. Please have a look at the LDG documentionn as to why this is the case.

Currently if an image fails to load because the codec determines the format is wrong, missing identifier or such, it simply exits and nothing is reported back. The end user is left wondering what went wrong, in most cases the progress box just vanishes and nothing at all happens.
