Description
The Open Terrain dialogue does not specify supported terrain file formats. I was also unable to find this information in the manual.
By trial and error I figured out that hgt is supported. Is that currently the only supported file format?

The formats currently supported are documented here for now:

It's not currently in the manual so we can easily update it between releases, though it isn't evolving as rapidly as it was.
We'll probably use GDAL (http://www.gdal.org/) to do the reading eventually, which should then mean we support almost any format.
