All files imported without explicitly selecting an importer in the file-choose dialog are parsed as BibTeX files before trying any of the dedicated importers.
This is done in the importUnknownFormat method.
The method:
First tries to parse the file (no matter the file type) as BibTeX.
Then tries to find a fitting importer
I noticed that with PDF's the BibTeX parser does not fail (but produces unusable results) and therefore the importers that are actually in place to import pdfs are not even used.
Before #694 and in particular f405cf4, the priority was the other way around. First, it was tried to find a fitting importer, if there is none the BibTeX parser would try to read the file.
Why was this changed? Maybe @lenhard remembers something?
