Opening empty BMP displays wrong error message

[Benjipede]

This is a small one, but when I open an empty bitmap, which has been generated through the right-click menu, the viewer says: Error: Component not found: file '.bmp' not supported. I would imagine just being told that the image is empty.

I am using Windows 10.

I can see that Windows' Photos app doesn't do much better, so maybe this is a shortcoming of the Windows decoder that you are depending on or Windows really generates an invalid BMP.
