Confirmation

• I have read and followed all instructions in README.md.
• I am using the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
• I have included the browser console logs.
• I have included the Docker container logs.
• I have provided every relevant configuration, setting, and environment variable used in my setup.
• I have clearly listed every relevant configuration, custom setting, environment variable, and command-line option that influences my setup (such as Docker Compose overrides, .env values, browser settings, authentication configurations, etc).
• I have documented step-by-step reproduction instructions that are precise, sequential, and leave nothing to interpretation. My steps:
• Start with the initial platform/version/OS and dependencies used,
• Specify exact install/launch/configure commands,
• List URLs visited, user input (incl. example values/emails/passwords if needed),
• Describe all options and toggles enabled or changed,
• Include any files or environmental changes,
• Identify the expected and actual result at each stage,
• Ensure any reasonably skilled user can follow and hit the same issue.

Expected Behavior

Exporting skills and importing them should be straightforward via the export and the import function.
Either it should allow to selectively to either export to .json and .md or it should allow to import both types.
Importing and exporting in both types would be the nicest but otherwise importing both types and just exporting to json would otherwise make the most sense.

Actual Behavior

Exporting a single or multiple skills creates a json file - which is in line with most stuff that can be exported in the GUI.
However importing is only supporting .md.

Selecting the json for import via open file dialog and changing the file ending filter from .md to all (*) allows to import it but then the skill textfield is just filled with the raw json data.
This makes the current export skills capability mostly pointless.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a skill.
2. Export that skill
3. Delete that skill
4. Try to import that skill
