Hi all,
Hopefully a quickie--I cannot tell if it's an OS issue or a LyX GUI
issue. I'm on Linux Mint Sarah, LyX 2.3.2. When I go to
File>Import>LaTeX (plain), and the LaTeX file type is chosen in the
drop-down menu in the file open dialog, no .tex files show up. All
files (including .tex ones) are visible when I choose "All Files".
And unrelatedly, in the Export As dialog, the drop-down file type menu
has a number of duplicates: six different LaTeX options, unlabeled,
four Plain Texts, and several Open Documents.

Maria,
I'm also on Mint Sarah, LyX 2.3.2. When I select File > Import > LaTeX
(plain) and navigate to a folder containing .tex files, I see them (with
the filter set to "LaTeX (plain) (*.tex)"). Can you upload a screen shot
of what you are seeing (or not seeing)? It would help if you used a
small directory, so that all the files appeared in the window (no
scrolling required).
Screenshots attached.
I've verified that this is an issue on both of my Mint Sarah
installations. I didn't copy the configurations between these, so it's
independent. (And the one that the screenshots are from is barely
configured--not my main machine for writing).
Interesting. What version of Qt do you use (4.8.7 here), and what
desktop environment for Sarah (MATE here)? Did you compile LyX yourself
or get a binary somewhere?
Your file dialog looks substantially different from mine (screen shot
attached). Some of that may be MATE v. Cinnamon (or whatever you're
using), but I find it interesting that your filter drop-down just says
"LaTeX" whereas mine is specific as to the "flavor" of LaTeX. The window
title is properly specific (and matches what I get). The reason I'm so
interested in the filter button is that I'm wondering whether the filter
you are getting is incorrect (for instance, fails to specify .tex as the
extension it wants).
Also, I misspoke (slightly) -- I forgot I had upgraded from Sarah to
Sylvia. It made no difference in how LyX works, at least for me.
