   On attempting to open a testnet wallet whilst running mainnet the below error appears. Instead of showing that it is maybe to do with a pruned node it should notify the user that this wallet type is for testnet and you are using mainnet.

   I am not sure if wallets created in other network mode should be available in this list to open wallets. Why would someone open a regtest wallet in mainnet?

   I don’t think they are shown on the open wallet menu but if you say have a regtest wallet open in regtest then close the app and open in mainnet my GUI attempts to open the last used wallet (the regtest one) giving me the above error. It’s a small edge case but still occurs.
