To access the importer, use the "Camera Import" button at the top.

The importer will ask for the source storage. This can be either an external sd-card or your connected camera.

Use the "Choose-Directory" option to set the Import-Location (where your files are imported to).

The "Set Filenames..." option can be used to rename the files on import. You can also create folder-structures like /year/month/image to group your images based on the exif date or current date while importing. Check the presets in the dialog for different samples.

You can Copy or Move (delete) the files from your camera storage.
Note: Some sources or cameras may not support moving. If the app freezes while importing, please use the copy mode instead.

Select "Start Import" to let Photo Mate load all the images available for import. You can now select which images you want to import.
