i'm not saying that "import" is a bad name. actually i think it is a
good name.
i'm only saying that "path" might be a sub-optimal name. e.g
[split_path] won't split the "path" you are talking about in  [path],
though the consistency suggests it.

otoh, your argument about the labels in the prefs are a bit void, given
that they are meant to be translated.
i don't see much consistency if "Pfad..." refers to the same as [path],
but [path] and [split_path] are unrelated.
