icon deleted when invalid shape specified

ROOMS build: 384
Status: added to wishlist for next release

A ROOMS icon gets its shape from a ROOMS shape file. A shape file may be specified for an icon using the property wizard or the shape wizard. If the shape file is invalid then the icon is deleted when the wizard completes.

This is incorrect. If a shape file is invalid, the icon should retain its original shape and an error message should be issued.

Note that the preview window in the ROOMS file open dialog is usually blank when an invalid shape file is selected, and this can help avoid the problem by providing an early warning.
