Regarding the import/link dialogs, I had a look at GdalImportDialog in
gdialogs.py. Maybe the easiest would be to replace the format selector
with a simple text field where the user can enter a file extension
which will then be used to filter files, plus a button to apply the
filter.

Otherwise the import dialog must come up with a list of all possible
file name extensions associated to a GDAL/OGR format. Bearing in mind
that e.g. Linux does not need any file name extensions and extensions
can be completely arbitrary, the import dialog can not possibly be
clever enough to cater for all possibilities.

Just a suggestion,
