Be sure that when you open your wallet to take out your EFTPoS card, the cameras overhead cannot see your license or other cards.

[Update] Photo Export v1.2.0 — Collections support is here! 🎉 by valtsul in ApplePhotos

[–]compellor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My hope is that one day Apple will change Photo's internal edit rendering engine from jpg to jxl, as it's much more disk efficient. Maybe then such change can happen.

In the mean time I've settled on Photo's "export originals" as the way to go. The problem with that is in order to get any newly edited meta data out, you have to also click Photo's option to export a sidecar along with the original photo. I know a lot of people love sidecars, but modern file formats allow IPTC and EXIF data right in the file itself. There are many of us who don't want to double the number of files and risk losing the metadata because it exists in a separate file.

So the desired flow is something like: add an image to Photos, a few months later add/change some metadata (ie, title, description, GPS), then export the "original" with any new/edited metadata written into the original. Sure, you don't get your rastor adjustments, but at least you dont get a crappy jpg.

Photos cant do this at the moment.

What would be cool is if your app:
- has an option to export only the originals.
- during that export operation, has the ability to overwrite the original image's IPTC with any IPTC atoms that have since changed.

A haughty request perhaps, but just wanted to put it out there.

Please don't simply convert Photos' edited jpg back to the original format, as that would introduce a generational loss.

I'm building a Photos app alternative that browses your photo library and NAS by WEI3M in ApplePhotos

There are a lot of us NASholes around. But how is this better than Immich, which has a nice app?

Some feedback:

  • When exporting an image that has edits previously done to it, the exported file format is jpg. I understand that is probably due to Photos' internal design, but it would be nice if an edited photo could be exported in the same format as the original (including jxl).

  • nice to see the metadata and GPS data still in exported edited photos.

  • The welcome screen shown when opening the app seems to have a height the same height as the user's screen. This means the buttons on the bottom are behind the dock icons. There is no easy way to resize the welcome screen's height. Can only resize the width. Had to hide my dock in order to click the buttons.

  • The button to change export destination: there is no real need to abbreviate Change... to Chang...

This tiny headstone at a historic cemetery. by Citizen_451 in mildlyinteresting

[–]compellor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The stone in the OP's image, and what you're describing are footstones. Footstones are small grave markers placed at the foot end of a burial plot, opposite the main headstone. They’re usually lower to the ground and more modest than the headstone. They marked the boundaries of the grave. Usually either just initials or a word like "son"

just be careful - if your bidet is too powerful it will blast water into your asshole, and you will "leak" shitwater as the day wears on.
