Importing matrices with no row or column labels

Issue #447 resolved
Anastasia Baryshnikova created an issue

USE CASE: WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?

Prevent Treeview from freezing in the event of an odd input file

STEPS TO REPRODUCE AN ISSUE (OR TRIGGER A NEW FEATURE)

Example: load a matrix with no row labels.

CURRENT BEHAVIOR

Treeview freezes at the "Done!" loading stage.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR

We have 2 options:

1) When no row or column labels are provided, generate an automatic label (e.g., ROW1, ROW2, etc.).

2) Do not allow matrices without row or column labels. Output an error when such a thing is attempted.

3) Do not allow "0" values at the Row and Column settings at data import (set "1" to be the default and minimum value). Basically, if no row or column values are provided, use the first row or column for that.

I'm not sure yet which option I prefer.
