Call fileExists instead? see https://github.com/RainerKuemmerle/g2o/blob/master/g2o/stuff/filesys_tools.h#L80C20-L80C30
Downside would be it also passes for a directory. We probably could use some filessystem calls instead directly.

The current approach with ifstream, does also not check if the file is a directory. Therefore we actually could use the function and would have the same result.
One approach would be to use stat to check the filetype:
This works just fine but will only work on posix compliant systems.
So far I did not find a good way to achieve this to work on windows as well as on posix without using preprocessor magic. Additionally I do not have any means to test on windows.
The right way in my opinion would be to use C++17's filesystem library, but for this the c++ version would require a bump.
So this might be a lean efficient compromise
