Hello,
The Import Shared Data from File dialog is a left over from SkyTools 3, where all types of import were centralized into one dialog. I separated them out into the places where they are used in ST4, so for example, importing observing lists is now done via the Nightly Planner. The one remaining import is chart schemes, something few people every seem to share. I intend to put those on the chart preferences dialog instead, but it hasn't been a priority. So the bottom line is that this dialog only displays stx files that contain chart color schemes.
I am assuming that you mean your logs entries. If so, you import those from... hmm. There should be a button on the Log Browser for that. Obviously this feature doesn't get a lot of use or someone would have reported this a long time ago. I am about to release a new update and will add an import function to the log browser. I can re-enable it on the Import Shared Data dialog too, at least until it goes away.
