The default display option for the filepath is to show each folder level as clickable [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breadcrumb_navigation breadcrumb navigation]. The path can be typed in an editable text box by pressing the {{Man key press|CTRL|L}} keybinding.
The file type extension will normally allow the {{man menu|Automatically detected}} option to expect a particular pattern of data to be converted to the native database format. You can override this by choosing a different '''{{man label|Select file type:}}''' options. The list of files may be filtered by changing from the {{man menu|All files}} option. If you select the {{man menu|All files}} option and then select an unsupported file import type you will be shown the {{man label|Could not open file: <file path and file name>}} warning dialog.
When planning to use the import repeatedly (for ongoing updates or including genealogy research), you can [https://gramps.discourse.group/t/need-help-doing-a-cross-os-linux-mac-verification/1068/5 customize the dialog] by adding buttons for bookmarked folder paths. Right-click on a folder name and choose {{man menu|Add to bookmarks}} from the pop-up menu.
