RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 395808

Details

The problem is that Penelope's Address Book importer does not 'see' Mac Eudora Address Book files. The open dialog asks the user to select an Address Book 'directory' to import. When either the Eudora Folder or Nicknames Folder is selected, an error dialog appears saying that the empty Address Book 'file' cannot be imported. It is not possible to select Address Book FILES in the dialog as they are greyed out, even if given '.txt' file extensions.

To reproduce:
- In Penelope , import Address Books, select Eudora 
- Note open file di\alog asks you to select a directory.
- Select the Eudora Folder or Nicknames Folder
- Note error dialog about importing empty Address Book file
- Repeat import, attempting to select and Address Book FILE instead of a folder.
- Note you are unable to select an Address Book file in open dialog (files are greyed out)

The crux of the issue here is the error dialog that appears which says "Can't import empty address book NameOfDirectorySelected" (where NameOfDirectorySelected is the name of the directory selected). The bug is actually cross platform and is described in bug 395808, so I'm marking this bug as a duplicate of that one.
