Description: Trying to import some .xdl file from the Dialog Editor, the dialog can not be loaded and no messages are shown to indicate what happens. I found two reproducible causes that prevent a dialog file from being imported: 1. Some controls are bound to a non-existent sheet in a Calc document (as in bug 166654) 2. The XML for the dialog is damaged (as in bug 166653) A message can help the user to discover what went wrong, telling something that distinguish the two causes. This is not a request for an enhancement. The absence of the message is not normal, I assume it is related to other unknown malfunctions. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Follow all steps to reproduce the bug 166654 in a new Calc document 2. On the Dialog Editor window, click the menu File > Export Dialog... 3. Write Dialog1.xdl in the File Name box, then click the Save button 4. Create a second Calc document 5. Rename its sheets to make sure there is no sheet named as those used for step 1 6. On the Dialog Editor window, click the menu File > Import Dialog... 7. Select the Dialog1.xdl file, then click the Open button Actual Results: The imported dialog is not shown; its name is absent in the Object Catalog; No error messages are shown Expected Results: The dialog is loaded and ready to edit Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Tested on version 7.2.1.2, 25.2.3.2 and Version: 25.8.0.0.alpha1+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 6190fe56f72008e0b6d0e502bf94099e72b9d202 CPU threads: 2; OS: Windows 11 X86_64 (build 26100); UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: it-IT (it_IT); UI: it-IT Calc: threaded
