Please note that I was not proposing one pair of dialogs. Maybe it was not clear from my earlier post. Trying to make it clearer... So in the case of one selecting File > Import... you first select a file to import. Then, based on the file suffix: *.chex => we reload the .chex file, same what happens now when you select File > Reload Collections and Settings... *.ics => you get the same dialog you get now from File > Import Tasks and Events from an iCalendar File, except File location field is not editable and there is no Browse button *.csv => (Maybe we don't support this yet, but would import something from csv file) *.txt => (We don't support this yet, but could see a plugin that made .txt imported into a note, possibly stamping as event if it parsed date/time info) *.eml => (Import an email message, do we support this yet?) and so forth for other formats. Doing it this way would let plugins add support for new file formats. -- Heikki Toivonen
