Just one note to add, perhaps irrelevant to the original query, on duplicate detection in Mylio and other apps. It's just time and patience on my part, stuff that's in short supply. (from Canon's Zoombrowser imports) I'm just being totally anal and want to make sure I have those actual images somewhere before I remove them. Yeah, Mylio could not follow some of the earlier images I had imported into iPhoto, like over 10 years ago. They are already tagged in Photos, but I would loose it during the export process? That's pretty crucial to me and one of the reasons I use Mylio, so that i can quickly find "American Flag, ice cream, Main Street USA" across all my devices. I did not realize it would not export out the metadata. Yet, I also have Alien Skin apps that I have not touched, that work just as well in most cases, just not within Photos.īasically I am at a crossroads and my lack of time to attend to how I should be managing my workflow is like mental photographic constipation to me right now. I *love* the extensions, and have a bunch of MacPhun apps that are so easy to use in them. File extensions? extensions in Photos? new DB? sorry.kinda lost you there. But note that that doesn't work for exporting the original, and for metadata for that original. Essentially you ignore the non destructive editing part of Photos and do an export after every edit, kinda like a "save as.". If you want the results of that playing around to be seen in Mylio. Depends on whether you wanna keep using Photos a lot I guess. It's a pain to delete images from disk in Photos, so I dunno what to say. BUT if you move out of the library/package of course Photos doesn't know they're gone and will object. This leads me to another question some Photos extensions are now not readable by Mylio (the older iPhotos extensions when it first launched.) I won't be able to simply find my images in Photos and drag folders to a new DB, but will actually need to export those photos, or use something like GraphicConverter to read them? So, what I hear you saying, is to simply move my photos into new folders on my MBP, and have both Photos AND Mylio watch that, would that be correct?Īny images I play around with in Photos would then need to be exported to these new photos to be tracked in Mylio, is that correct? 12 years now? so have everything as "copied into" as that was all I knew at the time I first set it up and have been lazy about cataloging. And yes, I've been using Photos (or iPhoto) for um. It confirms my very limited understanding of Mylio's interaction with Photos. I am so happy you responded, Rob, thank you. But if you say changed an image therein to BW and exported to the same folder, Mylio would see that and sync the new BW image. There would be no interaction with Photos, and if you changed the images via Mylio or some other application it could befuddle Photos, which can't handle that like say Lightroom does by incorporating the changes. you didn't use the "copy into." preference in Photos) you could have Mylio watch those folders as it does any old folder. If Photos on the MBP were referencing images (i.e. Kinda like what a lot of apps do with the camera roll on an iPhone. So in essence Mylio's import of images from Photos is really an EXPORT from Photos and then an import into Mylio. Second, a consequence of that obviously is that changes in Photos are not reflected in Mylio. Mylio's import function COPIES those out when it imports from Photos From a managed library, I further assume.įirst, Photos is sort of a closed system if you have photos in it's library (managed). So, if I'm understanding you the object is to add the images in the Photos application on the MBP to Mylio, and hence synch that with the other devices, but NOT duplicate any image from the Photos library. I *love* Mylio, just missing something pretty important when it comes to adding the Photos watch piece. I'm clearly doing something wrong, as I've had to restructure my Mylio database twice now since joining.
