4. Wait
The add-in takes anywhere from a only a second to several minutes, depending upon the number of pictures being imported.
You will see a lot of screen activity as the pictures are imported. Unfortunately, this can not be avoided.
If a non-picture file is encountered, all pictures are imported up to the non-picture file, but the remaining pictures will not be imported.
Mac OS folders sometimes have a hidden file named _DSStore which causes a blank slide to be added to the imported slide show. You can delete the empty slide.
