[Qgis-user] access to QGIS data files

[Bernd Vogelgesang]

Hi Alistair,
no one can give you a hint if you don't tell us which type of raster file  
you try to open. And it's not possible to read anything on your screen  
shot as well.

Anyway, did you already try to just grab the file in the explorer and drop  
it into the map canvas?
It might be also likely that you try to open an associated metadata file  
instead of the real raster file?

Cheers
Bernd
