Results viewer doesn't handle un-suffixed filenames gracefully

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run a PLS analysis, but don't explicitly use a _BfMRIresults.mat suffix 
2. Try to open said file in the results viewer
3. If the file is later renamed manually, with an appropriate suffix, then it 
works.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
1. I expected that in absence of an explicit suffix, one would be appended, as 
per the wiki. This did not happen.

This was output to the console window:

java.lang.NullPointerException
        at pls.chrome.result.ResultsDisplayer.doTask(ResultsDisplayer.java:53)
