Bug Description
pinta-1.
1. Open text editor and type in some text like: test
2. Save file in text editor, but name it: test.png
Note: I know this is text file, just want to test what happens if I open text file in Pinta.
3. File | Open and mark fake test.png file and click Open.
4. It opens an error message "Could not open file..." (see attachment).
5. This window is also inconsistent with other error dialogs of Pinta.
I suggest:
1. Remote "Error" text from title bar.
2. Write some text above in bold like: "Incorrect image format".
3. Bellow normal text is OK: "Could not open file..."

It looks little bit more complicated. I tried the following on latest development on Ubuntu 11.10:
1. Open Pinta, create some drawing and save file as e.g. test.png
2. Close file in Pinta: File | Close.
2. Open terminal and change user of this file: sudo chown root:root test.png
3. In terminal change permissions of this file: sudo chmod 700 test.png
4. Open file in Pinta: File | Open, mark the file and click on Open button.
I get the same message: "Could not open file: /home/[ my_user] /test.png"
It looks like there are multiple possibilities witch have the same error message.
I think we should be more describing when putting "Could not open file..." message. In this case I would like to see:
1. In bold text something like: You don't have a permission to open this file
2. In normal text it is OK to be written: "Could not open file..."
This now looks more to new feature request.
