| Oct 16, 2023 at 15:05 | comment | added | user1256923 | I am trying to use Darkroom, but it somehow seems to be only able to read files that are in Photos App, not actual files. I have otherwise no interest nor use for Photos App. | |
| Oct 16, 2023 at 13:40 | comment | added | bmike♦ | Your ask is very reasonable. We might need a substantial edit of requirements or follow on question as a software recommendation to explain what you need your photos app to do past what Finder allows (tagging, open in preview for light editing, etc…) to suggest something other than the app I suggested which does exactly what Lightroom and Aperture used to do. Store files directly in place where it found them and import to a file system-friendly location and not a bundle. | |
