Description

As part of stabilising and improving our current prototypes, a very useful feature in the simple gui would be a way to catch and view/log exceptions thrown as part of the program execution. We can't do this for the full PV approach, but we can for the simple gui. This would help user/testers report bugs and make them much easier to find and fix.

To test the new feature, copy any file that is not VATES readable and give it an extension of .sqw or .nxs. Then, try and open the file in the VatesSimpleGui. The program will crash due to the corrupt file, but now one will see a dialog with the exception info and Mantid log messages as well.

VatesSimpleGui seem to hang for a while, but the dialog does appear after a short time when you ask it to open a file that is unreadable. Details of the error are included in the dialog.
