Yes, I had the same thought; the current system is asymmetric. If it is 
insisted that non-xcf files cannot be saved and are exported instead, so 
they shall be also only imported instead of opened. But when I can open 
a file, then I expect that I am able also to save it.
OTOH, as the application can detect which format is being opened, and 
choose automatically between opening of the native format and importing 
of other formats, so maybe the best solution could be simply change the 
label from "open" to "open or import".
