So when I import photos from my iPhone to Photos on my mac the photos don't go into organized folders with image names. They are just in random folders, in random orders, with weird long names like the attached. Can't sort them or go through them or organize them. They use to be in nicely organized folders with simple names like IMG_0776.JPG. And they were in the order taken. Can you help with this?
You're referring to the Library in the Finder?
This is how it works. There is nothing wrong here, nothing to fix.
The Photos library package is not designed for user access or manipulation under any circumstances. There is nothing for you to do in this location, and anything you might will risk significant dataloss.
All your work is done via the Photos Window.
What are you hoping to achieve? Is there some action you cannot find a way to do in a supported fashion?
Okay, it's just not what I was used to. I'd go into the original files and back things up in my own way. Before they were more organized so I was just confused. I'll attempt to just work in the Photos Window. Thanks!
If you want to back up the originals go
File -> Export -> Unmodified Original
This will produce a copy of the master with the same filename and so on.
