1. File > Import > General > Archive File
2. In the 'From archive file:' text field, enter a folder's name, like '/'.
3. Hit the 'Tab' key to move the focus out of the text field.
4. An error dialog appears telling me that the source file isn't a zip file, dismiss it.
5. The dialog appears again for a second time.

Is there any reason why error dialogs are used instead of presenting error messages on the wizard itself?

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
