The Import dialog allows you to specify the name and location of a graphics file whose contents are to be imported into the application.  The file's extension determines what type of information the file is expected to contain.  If the extension of the file you specify isn't recognized, the Import File Types dialog appears, allowing you to indicate the type of information in the file.
