I think that's a good point...and perhaps I read through this thread too quickly before piping up. There could be separate dialogs, one each for import and export, presented to the user. The Import dialog could (guide, restrict and) enable the user to select what to import from what kind of file, and similarly for export. As capabilities are added, these two dialogs could be updated. Sounds a little complicated (as in resource-consuming), and perhaps some menu adjustments in the interim meet the current need.
