[QUOTE="jepjep, post: 1379857, member: 240536"] I was instructed to check out the metadata of the files using mdls -command in Terminal. I believe I found the most likely cause for the problem: I found one property and value that was only present in problematic files: - kMDItemSupportFileType = (iPhotoPreservedOriginal) None of the non-problematic files had any mention of kMDItemSupportFileType, while all the problematic files had added this property and setting. Even though I have no idea what I am doing, I believe that simple logic would dictate that this is causing the problem, right? Any idea why iPhoto does this to auto-rotate tagged photos when exported as originals? Any idea why Lion considers these as system files? Any idea how to fix it? Furthermore, is it possible to search all the files that have a kMDItemSupportFileType? [/QUOTE]
