#11514: ScummVM refuses to add Glk games, doesn't say why
----------------------+-------------------------

----------------------+-------------------------
 Following the note here https://www.scummvm.org/news/20200622 I downloaded
 the Jun 22 osx_x64-master-a63c614f build on macOS 10.15.5.

 I also downloaded Spider and Web from http://mirror.ifarchive.org/if-
 archive/games/zcode/Tangle.z5

 I opened ScummVM and clicked "add game" but it refused to let me add
 Tangle.z5. When I put Tangle.z5 in a folder by itself and tried to add
 that folder, it said, "ScummVM could not find any game in the specified
 directory!"

 I'm guessing this is a documentation issue, but I furthermore claim that
 error handling should improve, to make it easier to understand how to add
 Glk games.
