how to find filename of a picture as stored locally in the library by Photos? (I am not using iCloud).
I like to find for a limited nor of pictures stored in Photos, their given name in the photos library folder.
iMac 21.5″, macOS 11.2
You can't. And you shouldn't try. No part of the library package is designed for user access. Files are renamed on import, so knowing the filename is useless. If you want access to the original file simply export it:
File -> Export -> Unmodified Original
Do you want cross device syncing? Shooting raw or jpeg?
Thanks for your intrest. No need for cross device, I would use 'share albums' on itunes or successor if I want picture on apple device temporarily. SHooting jpeg for now, not planning to change soon.
Thanks for your response. I have looked for the files in many ways, but didn't find them. So I'll leave it at that, and fully agree with your statement about referenced files : don't use them.
Thank you for the additional test, Russ.
Hello Yer_Man, would you mind sharing which app you have chosen for picture editing and management on MAC? Thank you.
OK, thanks Yer-Man.
