Q: How do I uninstall photos for mac?
Can't say I am interested in using this program. When I plug an SD card into my iMac via the SD slot or plug in my CF Card reader to import images to my iMac, photos for mac auto opens and wants me to import said content into its library. So I suppose two questions. A) how do I uninstall photos for mac? B) If this is not possible how do I turn off auto prompt to import content every time I mount a disc? First world problem but seriously efs up work flow.
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3), null

Thanks for suggesting the rcd app, hadn't heard of that before.
Ok, I think I've figured it out for now. When you plug in and mount an SD, CF, etc. photos for mac auto prompts import from said media. What I had missed earlier was a small check box in the upper left hand corner (appears blue with "white check mark") with the import tab selected out of the other option tabs along the top (photos, shared, albums, projects, import). When photos for mac auto opens and prompts import you have to UNCHECK the "Open Photos for this device" while the program has its sight on the disc you just mounted. What this appears to do is that it will remember that specific card/disc and the next time you plug it in/mount it, photos for mac will not open and auto prompt. I was hoping that unchecking mentioned box would universally apply to that type card/discs. This is not the case. photos for mac will auto prompt import for everything you mount with media on it until you uncheck the box. It appears to have worked for three different SD/CF cards I have and have mounted them a few times each with no auto prompt import from photos for macs from any of them after unchecking that damned box.
Long winded but winning. Wish I had spotted this earlier!
Thanks all!
