Hi, I tried to import a labelmap in the segmentation module, I expected that clicking on the import bar would open a window to browse for the wished file, but nothing happen…

Probably it is expecting that you add the data to the scene yourself using File → Add Data (or the equivalent button in the top left corner). Then once loaded the data would be available to select from the dropdown menu
