I'm not sure if I understand the situation completely.  But Gwyddion has
no mechanism (and is unlikely to have in 2.x) for reporting partial
data loading failures.  So we go with one of three options:

- Consider the problems ignorable and just emit a g_warning() that
  ends up in gwyddion.log.

  BTW did you really mean errors should be visible in Data Browser?  I
  cannot see any code doing that.

- Consider the problem serious and fail.

- Ask the user for input.  This is normally done for raw-data-like
  import where the required information is unavailable in principle, but
  the situation of standalone data file with lost ‘header’ is not so
  different.  For instance in the case of pixmap images we know some
  information (pixel dimensions) and only need to complement it.  So if
  you want to go into this direction, I'm not against.

Note I did some rather extensive cleanup (i.e. many lines of code
touched) of omicronmatrix.c this spring, namely r15846 and r15865 when I
noticed some prevasive memory leaks and was adding support for logging.
I hope I didn't break anything.

Regards,

Yeti
