Import images onto the sorting tray

Now that I have locations, I need pictures. Because the sorting tray is hidden, I select the "View->View Sorting Tray" menu item.

With large images it can take a little time to import, since they're being automatically resized:

By default, the images on the map will be given the same name as the image file. For a few of the images, I select them in the location info tray and then enter a new name in the "Image name" field.
