[Qgis-user] Add Raster Layer Restricted to Types of GRASS Layer and is Not a Supported Raster Data Source

[Peter Ersts]

Bob,

The file list in the open raster dialog is dynamically built each time 
QGIS starts by getting a list of supported formats from GDAL. 

Have you ever set the GDAL_SKIP environment variable? If it is set try 
removing it.
