Trying to open Mac photo file directly in DxO through right clicking and selecting “open with” DxO pl5. Solution?
When you share something out of Photos with an app (example: Preview) it puts it in a folder called
> $HOME/Pictures/Photos Library.photoslibrary/private/com.apple.Photos/ExternalEditSessions/{unique name}
Preview can open that, but if I ask PL5 to specifically open it, it will not. The film strip comes up empty. The Photos Library.photoslibrary/
folder is quarantined. In terminal, run the following -
> ls -l@ $HOME/Pictures
and it will show it’s quarantined. Additionally, all of the folders under photoslibrary
are also quarantined.
Work-flow-wise, Photos is kind of dead end anyway, don’t you think? I don’t use it because it bugs the [*] out of me that I have to import something, meaning there are duplicate copies and wasted space, and if I want to edit an image, I simply go back to PL.
In DPL’s settings, we have a switch that enables/disables the look into Photo’s library. Have you checked that setting? It’s on the last tab.
