If that is the case then why is the .csv file I browse to greyed out

<div> Hi there, <br>
So I have installed KDE Neon on my system using VM Ware, and
by installing kexi there found that the export function
worked and I was able to export my table from kexi, as a
file of .csv format, which is perfect.<br>
<br>
I would like to now important that .csv table back into
kexi, this time adding more columns and increasing the
number of permitted characters per cell. So I brought the
.csv file over to my Ubuntu OS, and in Ubuntu I opened Kexi
and opened the import function. However when I browse to the
folder where the .csv file is located, everything is grayed
out including the .csv file. Can Kexi import tables of type
.csv, or does the file have to be of type .mdb?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Swarup<br>
