Current behavior

I am using Boost Notes on an arch linux system. I have installed from the AUR and the version is 0.9.0-1
I am trying to import some .md files but appear to be unable to do so.
Looking at the website it looks as though I should be able to do this from the preferences
But my preferences does not have an option for import. Its last menu entry is 'Billing'

I have also tried to drag and drop onto the main window. As I drag a filename from a filemanager over the notes_list pane the cursor has a green circle added to it with a '+' sign in the middle. When I release nothing happens.

Environment

Desktop/Web

Boost Note.next version: 0.9.0-1
OS version and name: ArchLinux (EndeavourOS - xfce desktop)
