Hi all,
Hopefully a quickie--I cannot tell if it's an OS issue or a LyX GUI
issue. I'm on Linux Mint Sarah, LyX 2.3.2. When I go to
File>Import>LaTeX (plain), and the LaTeX file type is chosen in the
drop-down menu in the file open dialog, no .tex files show up. All
files (including .tex ones) are visible when I choose "All Files".
And unrelatedly, in the Export As dialog, the drop-down file type menu
has a number of duplicates: six different LaTeX options, unlabeled,
four Plain Texts, and several Open Documents.

Maria,
I'm also on Mint Sarah, LyX 2.3.2. When I select File > Import > LaTeX
(plain) and navigate to a folder containing .tex files, I see them (with
the filter set to "LaTeX (plain) (*.tex)"). Can you upload a screen shot
of what you are seeing (or not seeing)? It would help if you used a
small directory, so that all the files appeared in the window (no
scrolling required).
Regarding the Export As dialog, the file filter options there match the
file formats recognized by LyX (Tools > Preferences... > File Handling >
Formats > Format:). I don't use most of them, but I presume the
assumption is that source files for various formats might contain some
differences. If the length of the filter list is bothersome, I suppose
you could always delete the ones you do not anticipate using (Remove
button in the file handling dialog).
