Comment:

 I have incorporated a variation on this patch in trunk (r...) that also
 treats files without bands as invalid in the isValidRasterFileName().

 Currently isValidRasterFileName() does not provide any mechanism to report
 an error to the user, so the user just sees "is not a supported dataset".
 I would also like to change this, but I will address this as a followup
 patch.  Even is also quite right that some sort of subdataset selection
 dialog would be very desirable for datasets like this with subdatasets.
