on aptoncd 'load' under 'restore' is not working

[Anurag]

Binary package hint: aptoncd

On Ubuntu 10.10, I am not able to load the already create ISO file as on pressing load nothing comes up.
When I execute aptoncd in terminal I get the following error message on pressing "LOAD", hence I cannot chose the file to restore.

Traceback (most recent call last):
