But Photos is ignoring the changes.PowerPhotos is the perfect Mac utility to help you manage multiple photo libraries.

POWERPHOTOS INSTAL UPDATE

While using Aperture I could update the referenced originals, for example add GPS coordinates or the altitude and direction information with HoudahGeo and Aperture would update the versions accordingly. It is a Desaster waiting to happen, to use a referenced library with Photos. Occasionally I not even consolidate the referenced files even longer. Since macOS 11 the handling of referenced items has become somewhat buggy and unreliable, depending on the system version. The path to the new location should be identical to the old file path. If you want to reconnect the originals on a new drive, you have to find a way to make Photos accept the new location as the old location. Usually Photos will reconnect many photos at once, in the same folder hierarchy, but only if the originals are in there original folder where the should be.

Any solutions to bulk reconnecting, please? Perhaps a Terminal command? The Photos process is one file at a time. The best advice I would give you is to forget Photos and move to a more powerful and capable application for the job. There is no solution to reattaching the files.

You don't replace a $80 pro level app with a give away consumer one. Also, it was never intended as replacement of Aperture, only iPhoto. Again, just because it’s possible doesn’t mean it’s optimised for that task. Further, managing a 6tb library with a give-away freebie app is always going to strain things. Just because it can do this, doesn’t mean it’s any good at it. Want more power and capability: use a 3rd party one.Īs Léonie, I and others have commented since the launch of the app, Photos is not suited to a referenced library. Pages isn't the best word processor, but it's good for a lot of basic things.

It is exactly the app Apple want to make, not because they can’t make better, but because it allows them to have a basic free app that does some basic stuff, while at the same time leaving space in the ecosystem for more powerful apps made my third party developers. I'm now making up my photos and need to choose good strategy for future time. Is there a way to delete referenced photo from Photos Library and also its original file on disk?ģ) When I have such mixed System Photos Library also with some referenced files, what happen to these referenced photos in library when after new re-installation when account gets connected to iCloud and your normal System Photo Library is synced? What about those previously referenced photos? Are they gone? As they were never synced to iCloud? Isn't it strange if Apple says that referenced photo files are not copied into library?)Ģ) How do I delete referenced photo from Photos Library? Does this operation delete also original file on disk, or will that original stay untouched. (For now, it seems to me that in Photos it stays in place and Photos app doesn't even complain that original file is missing. This is ok and exactly what I'm looking for, but:ġ) What happen to the referenced photo in Photos Library, when I delete the original file on disk?

How to understand referenced files in Photos library? I know that if I deselect the “Copy items to the Photos library” checkbox, the photo files on import will be just 'referenced' to to my active Photos Library. A managed library is far less trouble with Photos.' The Photos process is one file at a time. Or if you haver to restore them from a backup. If you ever need to move the referenced originals to a different volume, because the drive is failing or you want to move your growing library to a different volume with more space, you will be having a very hard time to reconnect the moved originals. As Leonie said in another post, 'A referenced library has been well supported in Aperture, but Photos has only a very basic support. I have 6TB of referenced files and want to keep them that way because they are used by other catalogue programmes (and probably the one that will replace Photos). In Aperture it was a breeze to reconnect them to the new drive but not so in Photos. The road block I have come to is that I replaced my drive holding the referenced files and my 104,000 images are now disconnected. It does not have basic features like Star Ratings. Sounds like a whinge but Photos is really poor compared to Aperture that it supposedly replaced.
