bursts in photos

When i synced my pictures from my iphone that once were part of a burst with photos (the new 10.10.3 mac app), photos automatically put them back in a burst. Is there a way to change this? Is there perhaps a setting so photos doesn’t show the previous burst pictures in a burst anymore? Because now, photos makes it seem like i have to select them again manually within the mac photos app while on my phone, they are all loose photo's.

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3), Photos

One more feature of this:


If you only select one or two from the burst, Photos will ask if you want to keep the remaining or not, so you may choose at this point to delete them or not.


It also seems to me that Photos initially selects the best quality photo in the group when displaying the Make a Selection screen.


Actually this is a very cool feature, giving you the opportunity to make your selections on the larger screen.

I noticed that when keeping only 1 frame from a burst, the others were hidden and not deleted yet.

Result : when exporting the 1 picture, all the "removed" pictures of the "original" burst were exported (though it was showing as only 1 frame and not as a burst any more), which was not my goal.

But, when opening in Photos the folder "recently removed" I found the remaining frames of the burst, so,

I deleted "permanently" in "recently removed" the other frames and then tried to export the remaining frame again ...

It worked : only 1 frame was exported.
