photo library confusion
I used Photos.app to transfer the photos from my iPhone to my MacBook running Monterey (12.1). I was told to "view package contents" of the iPhoto library to find my files. They are there but I was confused by two issues:
First, a single download of 33 images produced 14 subfolders with no logic behind the organization. Photos taken at the same time and place are divided across multiple folders while photos taken at different location are in the same folder.
Second, images transferred over email have logical and sequential names such as "IMG_9101.JPG" where the same image transferred with photos.app has a meaningless alphanumeric name over 40 characters that is not sequential to other images or seem to serve any purpose.
My old MacBook running El Capitan (10.11.6) did not have these problems. How can I return to a simple file transfer that places the images in a folder of my choosing without altering the file names.
Thank you.
