  • Crazy idea: bi-directional sync with Photos?
    1 project | /r/osxphotos | 2 Oct 2023
    I'm making good progress with photokit which allows me to use the full private API to make changes to the Photos library. I took a small break to add iPhoto support to osxphotos....because I need to access an old iPhoto library. But I had a crazy thought -- it would be possible with the new code to create a "bi-directional" Photos sync. That is, you could create an export of your Photos library then use another DAM (or just the file system) to manage it and edit photos. These changes would be detected by osxphotos and synced back to Photos. For example, you edit an exported image in Photoshop. The change is detected by osxphotos as an edit and it creates a change request in Photos to add the edit back to Photos. You change a keyword on a photo and osxphotos detects that and adds it back to the original in Photos. You edit a photo in Photos and this is detected and the exported copy updated. This would work best with a background process that monitors for changes. There's a lot of ways this could go wrong but it might be a way to "have your cake and eat it too" -- use Photos for syncing to iPhone, etc. but also be able to manage your photos "manually" in the Finder or using something like Digicam. Does this sound useful?
