If you don't want to import your photos all because you want to check them first, then the approval directory is your friend. There you can place photos for this purpose. Currently only JPG files are supported 😢
After you have copied your photos to the approval directory, open your Phobox and switch to "Approval". There you can accept or reject your photos.
