Description

Misleading error message for add an image value for incomplete filenames: "File names are not allowed to contain characters like colons or slashes. Only paste the file name after "File:", please."

Steps to reproduce:

Add a statemanent for an image
Enter an incomplete filename, i.e. "Köln Panorama" w/o the file type .jpg

Error message when publishing "File names are not allowed to contain characters like colons or slashes. Only paste the file name after "File:", please."

This is misleading. I suggest to use an error message like "Filename not found, check for filetype".
