Sample XML file triggering the bug

Trying to open an XML file of a schema unknown to LibreOffice results in an unhelpful error dialog which says "General Error. General input/output error."  Please replace this error message with one which more specifically describes the problem (e.g., "Unknown file format").
Comment 1 Tristan Miller 2012-08-16 06:26:26 UTC 
On second thought, perhaps a better course of action in this case would be to open the Filter Selection dialog so that the user can select from a list of known file formats.
Comment 2 Roman Eisele 2012-08-16 16:47:15 UTC 
REPRODUCIBLE with the reporter’s sample file (and similar generic .xml files) and
* LibreOffice 3.5.6.2 (Build-ID: e0fbe70-dcba98b-297ab39-994e618-0f858f0)
* LibreOffice 3.6.0.4 (Build ID: 932b512)
on MacOS X 10.6.8 (Intel). The same for LibreOffice 3.5.x.

Not reproducible in master builds, I believe Tor fixed it with
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=aa4b8a8164f01a120ba9bfb2e86b1ed33cc1d69c
which will be also in 3.6.2:

Please feel free to reopen if will be still reproducible in 3.6.2.

Comment 5 Rob Taylor 2013-04-26 14:47:37 UTC 
I'm still seeing this issue in 3.6.2.2, testcase attached.
Comment 6 Rob Taylor 2013-04-26 14:51:59 UTC 
Appears to be fixed in 3.6.5.2, so closing again....
