aef is short for application export file.
I know that, for over 20 years now.

Thanks for explaining.
Compared to VO: VO always opens with a project, even a newly VO would open with a Default project with the standard libraries. Then the Import option can be found in the File menu.
In Xide I have the Empty Placeholder which doesn't work for importing viaef files. I also have another project which seems normally present in the indicated directory but first, after opening, nothing is there, see picture:

On the main screen I can't remove it because nothing happens when I click the Remove button.
Chris' suggestion to use Application->Import Application sounds a lot more logical and easier.
No doubt, knowing Chris, Xide works more logical than VS (what isn't) or VO. But I maintain that when you are used to VS or VO it's less straightforward to use Xide than you seem to think.
