Does this disable Photos altogether, or just keep it from launching when you insert a card. I'd like to uninstall Photos altogether. I only want image files I'm actually working on on this macbook. It only has 120GB disk. I get out of space crashes if I use my photo library on this machine. Wish there was a way to limit which image files it keeps locally without deleting them from all over.
I feel like this is deja vu all over again. When they made iTunes automatically suck everything into itself, I spent some insane number of hours -- days and days and days, feeding each one of my CD's into it, one at a time. I tried to put the library on an accessory drive because my ibook disk didn't have enough room. Then at some point it decided to render everything I had tediously ripped in CD by CD, hundreds of them, unreadable. Serious trauma. I feel the same kind of thing coming now. If I delete enough image files off this drive so that I can use it, will it delete those photos from all my other devices, too? What happens when I copy some back to work on them? At least this time I know to make multiple copies of everything and put them where Photos can't get at them. Scary. I am beginning to think I need to have a machine that doesn't ever get on the internet, just so it doesn't delete my images or download too many of them. Either way, I"m screwed.
