Description Marta Bogdanowicz 2011-12-13 09:33:55 UTC 
The string in the error dialog, when opening the recently used archive which has been moved or deleted, currently states that "The file doesn't exist". It should be changed to "Archive not found".

Patch with string change

The proposed string makes more sense in English because the application does not know whether the file was moved or deleted, only that it is no longer at the location where it was before.

It is also poor grammar to use contractions in written English unless it is a quote, so even if the string is not changed to "Archive not found", it should be changed to "The file does not exist".
