I hadn't read what Peter had done there and in the Audacity Projects page to cover the new behaviour, but I would agree the warning image can't stop on: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Import_/_Export_Preferences long-term as it is nothing to do with that Preferences page. It could live short term in the Warnings Preferences. Needs discussing on Manual team what do with it, because the behaviour applies will all imports, not just File > Import > Audio (e.g. drag or Recent Files). I would suggest the behaviour may be best described at File > Open as now: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/File_Menu#Open... on the grounds that is top of the page. Longer term, an "Importing Audio" topic in "Understanding Audacity" might be an idea.
