 > Shouldn't the multi-import dialog be written for GDAL/OGR format instead
 of file name extensions? Multiple raster import using GDAL imports several
 raster bands from several datasources at once, while multiple vector
 import using OGR imports multiple vector layers from only one datasource
 in case of e.g. shapefiles and multiple vector layer from multiple
 datasources in other cases e.g. gpx or kml. Although the two dialogs look
 identical, they behave different, and for multiple vector import,
 behaviour depends on the selected OGR format. BTW, multiple raster import
 also uses the term layer whereas it's datasources that are listed, the
 layers (raster bands) are not listed.

 Please, check out improved import dialog, see
