unhelpful error message "giblib error: Saving to file [file] failed"

[Karl-Philipp Richter]

Specifying a `[file]` argument causes failure and the error message `giblib error: Saving to file [file] failed` to be display. Obviously this isn't helpful because it doesn't explain the reason and possible fix to the user. Please note that this isn't about the failure, but about the feedback.
