File not showing when i try to append .blend

As the the title suggests; I’m trying to append a characters .blend file to my current project. But when I go to append it it doesn’t show up. Any idea why? This has always worked and I’m not sure why its not now. Thanks for any help.

Sorry! I solved this right after i posted the question. One of the files I had named with .blend at the end. I guess blender thought it was looking inside a blender file which explains why it wasn’t showing anything.
