If the *ONLY* thing in the dialog box is "File does not exist", no, I
don't.

The string "file does not exist" appears in only one place in the
current Ethereal source code - in the SMB dissector, in a table for the
setting of one of the flags in an SMB OpenAndX command, where one of the
options is "Fail if file does not exist".  That's not code involved in
opening files or popping up dialog boxes.

It is also not, on most flavors of UNIX, the error message for ENOENT;
that's typically "No such file or directory".

However, in your previous message, you said

and now you say the error message is "File does not exist" rather than
"File not found".

Is it "File does not exist", or "File not found", or "No such file or
directory" - or is it "The path to the file XXX does not exist." or "The
file XXX does not exist (where XXX is a pathname of a file)?

And if the message has a file name in it, what is the file name?
