Importing files: Some file types (.tex, .odt) only show up under "All files"

[Tobias Hilbricht]

Thank you for your response!
I did what you suggested and found the following:

Reconfigure changes nothing with respect to the problem under
consideration.
However, I tried Insert -> File -> Subdocument (? Translation of
"Unterdokument") -> Search in Folder ("Durchsuchen"), and here the menu
choice LaTeX/LyX-Documents shows .tex and .lyx files only, as it should
be!
So there is a difference in the routine calling a file type when using
File -> Import -> LaTeX (plain) and Insert -> File -> Subdocument ->
Search in Folder?
Thankful for any helpful hints
