My habit is to insert an empty anchored frame in a dedicated container 
pgf first, before issuing the File > Import > File command.  The first 
such insertion in a FM session requires that I choose At Insertion Point 
in the anchored frame dialog box, but FM keeps that choice as the 
default in a session until it is changed. I have the ShrinkWrapAsIs.dll 
installed and use the Esc m p sequence after importing a graphic.

The entire key sequence (after setting the At Insertion Point default) 
takes mere seconds:

Alt+s a Enter	(invokes Special > Anchored Frame > New Frame)
Alt+f i f	(invokes File > Import > File)
[ choose and insert graphic file ]
Esc m p		(invokes shrinkwrap command)
