Solution for exporting photos following the import order
I couldn't reply to any older thread about this topic so this was the only way.
Many people were having problem exporting photos to a different folder keeping the same order they have in the photos app. These are the steps that you should try:
- Select your photos in the import tab or wherever you have them. You can press cmd + A to select every photo, or click manually on each one.
- With your photos selected, on the upper toolbar go to File->Export->Export Unmodified Original For X Items. Where X is the number of photos you currently have selected.
- Now in the window that pops up, under the File Naming section there is File Name: followed by a dropdown menu. Select Album Name With Number in the dropdown menu. You can leave the other options as they are.
- Click on Export, select your folder and then click on Export Originals.
And there you go, your photos should now be exported in the correct order!
Note: this method doesn't let you choose between different photo/video formats and different qualities. It keeps the same format and quality as they are on your phone.
