I wish to use iPhoto not Photo How can I stop photo opening every time I connect my camera

I prefer iPhoto because I am more familiar with it and it allows me to add GPS locations easily to photos that do not have it. Every time I connect my camera Photos App tries to open, How can I stop this please?

I have already gone to iPhotos preference and set it to open when camera connected but Photos still keeps opening.

Suggestions please

Tanks in advance

You're welcome 🙂

Perhaps the next major system release will bring more improvements for Photos for Mac, if the grapevine is right.

Your question was: How can I stop photo opening every time I connect my camera

Did you get that corrected?
