Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I keep my photos library on an external ssd for quite some time - and everything went well. Since update to OS 15.5 I get "Photos unable to open library "Photos Library" (4302). If I create a new library (just to test) - the same happens.

Hi
Regarding the external SSD - is it correctly formatted for a photos library?
It must be formatted APFS or MacOS extended (journaled) (preferred for spinning drives)
It Must not be (or have been) used for time machine. (A time machine drive can be used if re-formatted)
It must have the 'ignore ownership" checkbox ticked.
It must be directly connected (No ethernet or wifi)

How is the drive formatted?
Hi
See my last message. Check the format - if it is not APFS or MacOS extened, you will have to move your library onto a correctly formatted drive.
When attempting to open the library on the SSD I get "PHPhotosErrorInvalidState" message. This happened after the last update to 11.5.2 on 8/22/21
