Why make it this complex? Just launch the native file picker. Then, if
the suffix was .ics, present the .ics import dialog. There currently is
no further dialog for .chex import so I see no need to add one now.

I think it is bad to include the suffix in this dialog. I'd say
something like:

Export:

(*) All data and settings for import into Chandler.
( ) Only tasks and events for import into iCalendar.
