Problems importing - converts files to ZIP!?

Hi folks,

Only used Calibre for a few weeks, so this may have an easy answer (hopefully).

I've been happily populating my Calibre library with about 200-odd books so far, and added a few more last night which were a variety of formats (.lit, pdfs).

I followed my normal procedure of putting the files into a particular folder on my hard drive, then imported individually - but for some reason Calibre imports them as .ZIP files only. As a result when you try to open from Calibre it takes you into windows explorer rather than opening the file in the ebook reader

I've solved this by converting each file into mobi format, but it seems the setting on Calibre have changed so importing as a zip file is somehow the default

I haven't changed anything as far as I'm aware - and the only thing I've done is import the Kindle Collections plugin.

Any ideas on how to correct this?
