For future me

remember to do:

            try        
            {
                result = dialog.ShowDialog(Window);
            }
            catch
            {
                dialog.InitialDirectory = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop);
                result = dialog.ShowDialog(Window);
            }

This helps in the situation when user opened file from location, that does not longer exists (ex. USB stick, mapped network drive) - ShowDialog throws exception if InitialDirectory is invalid.
