Before I post, may I thank Andrew for making Qcad CE available.
I am exploring Qcad CE version 3.7.7.0 (3.7.7). At every start-up, I get this message "Cannot open file > '/home/ my user name /%F'" > File is empty." over 3 lines in a small window titled "Import Error". Qcad seems to work okay but I would appreciate any advice on the meaning of the message and how to sort it.

Re: Import Error
Please indicate your operating system and the way how you have obtained QCAD (download from our web site at qcad.org, installation from a 3rd party repository, compiled from sources, etc.). Thanks.
Re: Import Error
Thank you for the prompt response.
I am using Linuxmint 17.
Qcad was downloaded directly from the Ribbonsoft site.

Re: Import Error
There appears to be an incompatibility of the QCAD desktop file with your window manager.
The desktop file used to launch QCAD starts QCAD with the following command:
installationpath/qcad %F
Where %F is usually replaced by the window manager with the file that was clicked or nothing.
You can try to modify your desktop file if you are comfortable using a plain text editor and remove the %F in the 'Exec=' instruction.

Re: Import Error
My, that took me places I haven't been before.
I edited the Qcad icon under the "Graphics" section of the Applications menu to take out the %F as you suggested. It all seems to work now.
Thank you.
