Description

It says:

ValueError on line 56: "Malformed hint to FileFinderImpl::makeFileName: PG3_1993_event" in file 'mantidsimple.py' at line 1601

rather than saying that it can't find the file.

I tried it 

Load('PG3_1993_event')

and get: ValueError Invalid value for property (list of str lists) "PG3_1993_event": Unable to parse runs: "Unable to find file matching the staring "PG3_1993_event", even after appending suggested file extensions."

I considwer this to be an acceptable improvement.
