--- Comment #5 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> ---
OK, so just checked again, IFF I make an additional filter file type 'Text CSV
(*.csv)' the 'Edit filter settings' checkbox does enabled.

For OP, I had been filtering the file selection using only the DE file manager,
and picking from that filtered list of *.csv files. 

But then LO does not honor that filtering and treats the import as 'All files
(*.*)', so the import filter is unspecified and bypasses enabling the check
box.

It works that way in both the VistaFilePicker, and the LO Dialogs. But the
requirement to specify the additional file type import filter tripped me up.  I
understand why it is needed and actually is consistent with other import
filters, it is just unclear that it is needed when the DE has already filtered
the file types by extension.

Guess it is a documentation issue...
