unable to export HEIC photo file - unhelpful error message
I'm trying to export a bunch of photos from Photos. Works fine for jpeg files; doesn't work for heic. The error message I get is a classic... "The operation couldn't be completed (Cocoa error-1)." What the heck am I supposed to do with that? If I had to I'd buy a heic->jpeg converter app, but I can't get them out of Photos, so that doesn't help.
I've tried live and not live (dead?) heic files, tried many different files, tried exporting unmodified original and plain export, exporting to desktop or a shared file, restarted computer (MBP 14")...NOTHING helps. Running on Monterey 12.2.1. I didn't realize. I have not changed my iPhone to create files in jpeg - heic isn't helping me at all.
What am I missing here?
Thanks!
