Having an interesting time also with my iCloud Photos backup. Main thing I want is to preserve the folders on the PC as I’ve organised them in the iOS app. It’s doable when the photos sync to iCloud and you download a zip folder from each album.

I realised it had used my phone’s version of the app and synced just one small folder so I stopped the phone from syncing (everything is backed up in two places already, I’m just here for the many folders I made throughout last year on the iPad).

So far the fresh sync has not realised I turned the setting off on the phone. I hope it does but it’s also not urgent, I just had the drive to do it and I like to finish things when I can. It’s a funny thing, tech not playing ball and not knowing why.

Why is it that the apple photos app doesn’t support picture in picture for video? All other video apps basically support this, but not the photos app when watching videos. Frustrating

Apple's new 'Flex' ad shows off the Clean Up tool removing unwanted reflections in Photos. This neat Apple Intelligence feature lets you erase objects with a simple tap. Available now in iOS 18.1 and later.

The first and only piece of #AppleScript I have written. Very useful: Copy the geographic location metadata of one image in the #macOS #PhotosApp to a selection of other images that lack location information.

Script is available split into two pieces, as alt text in the images.

(Yes, I know Photos has Image>Location>Copy Location and Image>Location>Assign Location. I often find running this script more handy, though.)

Another somewhat curious design choice in the new Photos app:

If you want to disable all of the constantly playing videos and cross-fading/zooming slideshows that appear throughout the app’s main summary views, there’s an option, “Auto-Play Motion”, that you can turn off.

But this also results in videos that you specifically tap on not playing by default, so you then have to tap play every single time you view a video.

I feel like that should be a separate option.
