Thank you for your response! I did what you suggested and found the following:
Reconfigure changes nothing with respect to the problem under consideration. However, I tried Insert -> File -> Subdocument (? Translation of "Unterdokument") -> Search in Folder ("Durchsuchen"), and here the menu choice LaTeX/LyX-Documents shows .tex and .lyx files only, as it should be! So there is a difference in the routine calling a file type when using File -> Import -> LaTeX (plain) and Insert -> File -> Subdocument -> Search in Folder?
