Photos Project Extensions: Mimeo

I am using the latest Mimeo version - only downloaded a few days ago. I have the depressing feeling my work is lost for good unless anyone has any bright ideas.

Sure that may work if you are savvy with how that works. I'd probably lose everything in the process. Why must I fix something that wasn't broken before?

Apple's original idea was to provide printing of the cards for a price. It was not intended for user printing or they would have made the appropriate changes.

This did not work. The extension is causing problems elsewhere. I am thinking of reloading the extension. Thanks.

I get that same error message too on a test run!

hi, did you ever figure out a solution? I'm having the same issue. so worried

Hi

There are ways to print cards but it requires a number of extra steps. These two tutorials were written for iPhoto a while back but from around Step 3 will work with Photos also:

iP06 - Printing a iPhoto Greeting Card

iP07 - Printing a iPhoto Greeting Card to Standard Stock Sizes

I have High Sierra and Mimeo Photo2.0.9. I created a photobook project of about 50 pages and clicked on "Buy" and went thru the whole process of purchasing, etc., and it proceeded to upload the photos. After about 10 minutes (with nothing happening, I received the following message: "Project Extension Mimeo Photos" terminated unexpectedly." I am awaiting a chat response from Mimeo's support people.

I meant: click on the orange dot (among the adjacent red-orange-green triplet of dots in the upper left corner of the window corresponding to the upload). This will hide the window and prevent me from inadvertently interacting in any way with the upload.

Hope this helps and works for you.

I may not be entering this discussion at the correct point, but I received an email from Mimeo yesterday that outlined how to convert or reprint existing Apple photo projects. I was very happy to hear this was possible, but must admit I am totally lost in the process!

1. I have downloaded the Mimeo app and it is now visible on my Photos menu and when I choose 'create', the Mimeo option comes up to create books, cards, etc. Gave it a test run - all seems good.

2. I have a photobook I created some time ago and I simply want to get a PDF copy of it, but when clicked on I still get the Apple message to download an extension from the App Store, even though I now have Mimeo in the system. If I 'continue' I get my book up, there is no 'Convert' button in the right-hand corner in order to select Mimeo Photos.

Also, for some unknown reason I can't get a PDF copy from within the book as I used to do (only prints a couple of pages - why is this?) and I even tried the menu to 'Export' a PDF, to no avail.

3. I have checked the 'Extensions' in my System Preferences and the Mimeo is one of the apps showing.

I have ver 3.0 Mimeo and MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6. Is it possible this wonderfully easy way to Convert a Photos book project into Mimeo is only available in the new OS software upgrade?

I have not even had the App Store new OS download offered on my computer, so I am assuming it is still in trial mode.

Hi Old Toad, I seem to have found a workaround. I click "place order", and select a pic that it cannot find. Then there were two pathways. In the first, the pic opens up in editing mode and a spinning wheel of spokes appears at the bottom right. The editing mode then offers the normal options of white balance and luminance, etc. If I save changes at this point, the pic is recognised by mimeo. In the second pathway, I click "place order" and select a pic that is missing, but instead of a rotating wheel of spokes, a piechart shows that fills up at the bottom right. Editing mode does not show variations in the white balance, luminance, etc. options. At this point, I select DXO, allow it to grind through, save changes, which returns me to editing mode, and now suddenly the white balance, luminance, etc. variations show up. When I save the changes now, instead of without the DXO route, the pic is recognised by mimeo.

The procedure is very laborious, with a "place order" required for every single pic, but it seems to work. Placing order now, hopefully for real, this time!

It crashed before the upload was completed. What do you mean "hide the window"? And thanks for replying.

Are you using the iCloud Photos and, if so, do you have Optimize Mac Storage enabled?
