Issue Type: ENHANCEMENT
Summary: Detect a null file instead of asking for import filter
Product: General
Version: 4.0.1

OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED

Typical null file created by OpenOffice
Sometimes (e.g. accidental PC power off) OpenOffice destroys a document and
changes it to a file containing only bytes of value zero, see Bug 107487. Next
attachment is a real corrupted document (I just changed the file name).
Problem : When opening this junk, OpenOffice asks the user a filter to read it
! The average user then supposes that the document still contains something,
selects an ASCII filter, and OpenOffice displays pages of hashes.
Request for improvement : when a document is obviously destroyed, at least a
warning message should be given. In the case of a document starting with lots
of zero bytes, OpenOffice should say that the document contains nothing
readable.
