Remote file not found - show hint message

I open a remote cobol file and add a bookmark for it.
Then I close the editor. Now I delete the file on the mainframe.
When I try to open the deleted file by double clicking on the bookmark, the following exception is thrown in the logfile.
See bookmark_remote_file_not_found.log

On the GUI the user does not see any error. Apparently the file is opened with an old local version!

In such a case I expect an information message that the file does not exist.
