If you select "All Documents" this cannot be the case as it is a
system-supplied setting allowing you to select any kind of file. Most likely
you are looking at files you do not have the permission to read, or
something else that are not actually files (i.e. folder, clipboard pieces,
aliases, etc)

Most likely you are not actually importing a Windows template folder then,
but just some other arbitrary folder and POV-Ray tries its best to make
sense of that selection. If you didn't get a folder in the proper format
from a Windows system and know it worked there as a whole, it most likely
wasn't a Windows template folder. Also note that you really need to select
the Windows template folder, not some sub-folder inside it.

If the folder containing POV-Ray is locked, you cannot change your
templates. Further, template folders that contain no items may be deleted.
As such, either of the two conditions may be your problem.
