This seems to have been previously reported as Issue 1129, and has been closed 
as solved. 

I tried importing into a freshly opened instance of Sigal, with no files 
loaded, and had the same problem--also into an older file, into which I had 
earlier imported many items, so it doesn't seem related to my file.

tried unsuccessfully to import several images in different formats, an epub 
file and a txt file--same result. I WAS able to successfully import a html file.

Until yesterday, I was using a version from last summer, possibly 4.1, and 
having no problems.

That's because it has been fixed. A version with the fix hasn't been released 
yet.

I have the EXACT same issue.  Windows 7 64 bit.  Have been using Sigil older 
versions, no problem.  As soon as I downloaded 5.1, I CANNOT add any existing 
images (jpg. bmp...etc)  It has always worked until now.  And, now I can't find 
an older version to revert to.  Loved this product but it's time to pay for one 
that just works.  The problem with 'free' stuff is that most people creating it 
aren't qualified to.  Check out the forums, I'm only one of many who are having 
issues with this 'improved' release.  Have a nice day!~
