I am in doubt, whether you are right here. I found some code as you
described in the "SceneFileHandler/ImageFileHandler" but not in the
PathHandler itself - where I rather think it belongs.

So we are again at documentation issues here. ;-)

Wouldn't you consider this an error situation which the user need to be
informed about under any circumstances? Just consider your application
which you called with a file argument terminates without a remark if
the file does not exist.
