Description:
In the Results tab, the Data Import/Export type options are as follows:

  - Data Export: CSV, CSV (; separated), HTML, JSON, SQL INSERT, Excel, XML, XML (mysql formatted), Tab
  - Data Import: CSV

Perhaps Import can have all of the types provided by Export?

How to repeat:
1. Load the sakila database
2. Execute a SELECT, like "SELECT * FROM sakila.category;"
3 View the "Result Grid" panel
4a. Click "Data Import", notice it wants CSV
4b. Click "Data Export", notice all of the options

- Tested on OS X

Suggested fix:
Expand the 'Data Import' options.

Hello Philip,

Thank you for the report.
Verified as described.

Confirmed on Win7.

Not sure about all file formats(json,xml etc) - but other than CSV, TAB separated(.txt), and SQL(.sql) file types should have been included.

Thanks,
Umesh

Still the case in 6.3.4.0 on Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP 1, 64-bit.
