Thanks for continuing the development of Legends Viewer, but I have a major bug when running the app using Mono under Linux.

When I want to load a legends.xml or legends_plus.xml, the app crashes with the following error message (taken from the terminal):
System.ArgumentException: Path is empty

This problem does not happen when loading the world_map.bmp, world_history.txt or world_sites_and_pops.txt.

I use Debian "sid" (unstable branch), and the mono-complete (version 4.2.1.102+dfsg2-5) metapackage (that installs Mono and most of the libraries, including System.Windows.Forms).
