Make sure that the selected Folder name appears in “Import to” field and click on the Import Selected button. After selecting the Photos, click on the down arrow next to “Import to” and select the Folder into which you want to import the selected photos. The app is working on macOS High Sierra 10.13, macOS Sierra 10.12, Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11 and Mac.Ĭlick on your Digital Camera in the side menu and then select the Photos that you want to transfer by clicking on them. However, nested folders images are easily imported to nested albums in the Photos app using an app based on an applescript conserving the folders’ original names and nested structure. If you prefer, you can store photos and videos outside the Photos library (for example, in a folder on your Mac or on an external drive) and still view them in Photos. When you import photos and videos into Photos, they’re copied to the Photos library in the Pictures folder. Change where your files are stored in Photos on Mac. Click the checkbox next to the words “Keep Folder Organization” on the top right. If you drag it into the Photos App window, Photos will behave differently and will import the images without any organization.
Doesn’t matter if the Photos App is already open or not.
