Disadvantages of a Referenced Library in Photos for Mac - Apple Community A managed library is far less trouble with Photos. Or if you haver to restore them from a backup. If you ever need to move the referenced originals to a different volume, because the drive is failing or you want to move your growing library to a different volume with more space, you will be having a very hard time to reconnect the moved originals. If you are planning to use iCloud Photo s with Catalina, consolidate your referenced photos into the library with 'File > Consolidate'.Ī referenced library has been well supported in Aperture, but Photos has only a very basic support.

The update to Catalina should not enable it by default. You do not have to enable iCloud Photos it is not compulsary. I would wait for these apparent bugs to be fixed, before trying to use a referenced library (in combination with iCloud Photos) on Catalina.

Some users reported that the referenced images seem to be uploaded to iCloud and caused iCloud Photos to hang. Referenced images are not appearing in the Places map.

A mixed library seems currently to be risky in Photos 5.0 on Catalina.

YOu may want to use the command 'File > Reveal original file' before you delete an image, so you know where you will find the original. You have to find and remove it on your own. If you delete a photo from your library, the original image file will stay.

Photos has a very poor support for referenced files.

you may not immediately notice the missing original, but Photos will not be able to do anything, where the original file is needed.

If you delete the referenced file from the disk, Photos will complain, if you try to edit the photo or to share it, after you empty the Trash and the photo is completely gone.

If the reference is broken and the original missing, the arrow will be broken. Then you will be seeing a tiny arrow on the thumbnails. When working with referenced files I would enable the option 'View > Metadata > referenced files. I'm now making up my photos and need to choose good strategy for future time. Is there a way to delete referenced photo from Photos Library and also its original file on disk?ģ) When I have such mixed System Photos Library also with some referenced files, what happen to these referenced photos in library when after new re-installation when account gets connected to iCloud and your normal System Photo Library is synced? What about those previously referenced photos? Are they gone? As they were never synced to iCloud? Isn't it strange if Apple says that referenced photo files are not copied into library?)Ģ) How do I delete referenced photo from Photos Library? Does this operation delete also original file on disk, or will that original stay untouched. (For now, it seems to me that in Photos it stays in place and Photos app doesn't even complain that original file is missing. This is ok and exactly what I'm looking for, but:ġ) What happen to the referenced photo in Photos Library, when I delete the original file on disk? I know that if I deselect the “Copy items to the Photos library” checkbox, the photo files on import will be just 'referenced' to to my active Photos Library.
