If the images you want to import are in an array, you can click to select the first image in the array, then press Shift and click the last image in the array at the same time to select the whole array. After that, click Open button to import all these images together. Please notice that when the number of images you import is very large, it may take a long time to complete the operation. You can watch how the process moves on from the status bar at the bottom of the Main UI.
