no, this tool still doesn't work. There is no error message now, but progress bar is endlessly running.

I can reproduce this problem if I don't select shapefile in the file selection dialog. If I do select shapefile, my test file converts and loads fine.
I'll have a look at making that need more obvious, and perhaps a little more automatic.

Tested with r15015 under Linux and all works fine. But on Windows with same revision and same data I get error
The layer D:/test.gpx?type=waypoint is not a valid layer and can not be added to map

If try to import any vector data into GPX QGIS throws an error. For example:
Could not import data from C:/personal/next/histmonumreg.geojson! Input type 'copilot' not recognized

You can only use the file types listed in the selection dialog - and it's important to choose the one that matches your selected file. Seems you left the file type at 'copilot'.
But gpsbabel (or just the plugin) doesn't support GeoJSON anyway.

Just tried to import shapefile with GPS Tools. Other files tab, select point shapefile and Shapefile (*.*) from file type combo. After clicking Ok button I get error message
Could not import data from F:/samples/shape/poi-osm.shp! Input type 'shape' not recognized
Windows XP, r15786. In Linux with same revision and same test data all works fine

your gpsbabel probably doesn't support shape.
this is probably related to #2203.
If fix for #2203 works (please test it, so we can eventually close the ticket) the probably the same fix can apply here.
