Q: How to turn off auto-open of iPhoto in OS 10.11.6?
How to turn off auto-open of iPhoto in OS 10.11.6 on my Mac, when I up load photos for my camera's SD card.
I up load from my camera's 32 GB and 64 GB SD cards to my Mac for post production work. I often use Image Capture or 3rd party software to upload for quick sorting. After Apples most recent OS update when I insert my SD card in to the card reader, I'm now force to wait while iPhoto auto-opens and auto-loads all photos on the SD card. This forces all other software to wait (Image Capture and 3rd party software) till iPhoto is done. I then close iPhoto and get on with uploading photos as usual. This time consuming act just started with Apples newest update of OS 10.11.6 and I can find no way to turn off "auto-open" in iPhoto. Is there any way to short of deleting iPhoto all together to stop auto-open?
My Mac:
Hardware: 24" early 2009, 3.06 GHz Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Software: iPhoto v 1.5 runningn on OS v 10.11.6
iMac (24-inch Early 2009), OS X El Capitan (10.11.5)
