Q: Export to Photo from email (Mail) not working

Recently upgraded to El Capitan on my Late 2009 Mac.

 

I've worked through most conversion issues from iPhoto to Photo.

 

One issue i am having is on photos emailed to me, the prompt in Mail to "Export to Photos" doesn't do anything.  I select that yet the photo does not show up in Photo, nor can i find it anywhere else using Finder.

 

Any ideas on how i can resolve this so i can add emailed photos to Photo?

 

Thanks!

    You actually have to read the entire sentesnse to understand

     

    Is your current Photos Library the System Photo Library?

     

    Check the Photos > Preferences > General:  Is "Use as System Photo Library" greyed out to show it is enabled, as it should be?

    If not, enable it and restart the Mac.

    Nothing at all was said about

     

    a "System Preferences>Extensions>Share Menu"

    Only about Photos preferences

    In Leonie's original reply (to me) she gave a link to an article which she suggested I read and that explained about the System Preferences etc..  If you look back you will see that

    Re-fraising the sentence doesn't make it reasonable!

    The "Share Menu" was mentioned in the post from isabella60.
