For the consistent metaphor, every "file open" operation should be exposed via "File > Open File" menu. If every different file format offers its own way of opening a file, it would be a mess!
I agree, will be fixed as a part of tighter integration of Profiler 6.0 with IDE.
Unfortunately not for 6.0, tighter integration will be designed & implemented for next release based on users feedback on profiler 6.0 as a first version built in the IDE. Changing priority to P4 as no users reported not to be able to find Load Snapshot action. But keeping in mind that this should be polished and integrated into standard IDE workflow.

Can the issue be reevaluated and my patch applied for 6.7?
Patch integrated, .nps files can be opened using File | Open or from Favorites browser. Note that it doesn't fix this issue, will be resolved by introducing a general profiling framework. Jardo, please verify the patch: - http://hg.netbeans.org/profiler-main/rev/716451f64cef - http://hg.netbeans.org/profiler-main/rev/bf4a312c0587
Lowering priority to P4, since "File > Open File" menu can be used to open profiler snapshots.
Fully fixed in the redesigned profiler UI.
