Dear developers,

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/slicer/original/3X/8/9/896c0fb8deccc66625e9ea25fa5778f8f424f849.png)  
When I try to load a scene in Slicer, error happened,

VTK may report it as an error when I attempt to read or write an empty file, while it may be normal that a fiber is empty.  
According to Iassoan, a possible fix would be to apply the same technique as it is done in the model storage node: use the [`SkippedNoData` write state](https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/blob/4540594f5ff293cb387fd252e24e32be13e377c8/Libs/MRML/Core/vtkMRMLModelStorageNode.cxx#L160C32-L160C45) to indicate that the file is expected to be empty.  
Best wishes,
