If you leave the selection in the Files of type list untouched as 'ASCII Text', and select a png file, the Files of type list jumps to 'Portable Network Graphic' and imports the file just fine. The problem largely exists between the screen and the keyboard, i.e. the user (me). But I am all for making things explicit and offer guidance to users. lessens mistakes, makes life easier. Even better would be to have the Files of type field be initially blank, reflecting the reality of being able to select any file. But it's a really small feature.

Recommended title: Clarify PNG support in the import dialog file type list
Rewritten description:
As an end user, I need to be able to clearly see that PNG files are supported in the import dialog, because explicit file type guidance reduces confusion, prevents mistakes during import, and makes the process easier to understand.
Optional detail to retain supporting context:
Currently, if the Files of type field is left as ASCII Text and a PNG file is selected, the dialog automatically switches to Portable Network Graphic and imports the file successfully. While this behavior works, it is not obvious to users. Making PNG support more explicit in the list — or leaving the field blank by default to reflect support for multiple file types — would improve clarity and usability, even as a small enhancement.
