Hello forum! I am a kinda-new mac user, been going for like 6 years or so but just never learned the ins and outs of it.... Never going back though.
I did some googling and some attempting but I am a tad bit too old for this fiddling around, this grumpy old ******* just wants to be told what to do and then do it. I know I should figure it out by myself but you know, teach an old dog how to sit and all that. Years ago I spent a full day arranging all my 4000 photos and now here we are again and now it is 5000. What I would like to do is just scroll up, delete some as you go along, create some file folders, have some open on the side and just drag-and-drop pics or bunches of pics into them or simply mark a bunch and right-click, select "move 43 photos to Melbourne Mayhem folder".
I have a macbook, same I used for years and in the photos app I create albums, I move some photos to albums, so far so good. But these albums don't seem like folders in the ol' PC way of thinking as the photos end up there as well as remaining in the photos feed or whatever you should call it. I just want to MOVE them from photos (think of it as a main folder) to a subfolder just like you move files around. I don't want the photos app to have 5000 pics to go through, I want them organized into folders, gone from the parent directory once you move them so that I can then clear through the sub-folders one by one. How to make this work? I don't know, that's why I come here to you knowledgeable and helpful people.
I do admit I have searched google but I have not searched this forum, yet. I throw this out hoping for immediate spot-on helpful replies. This is wrong, and I ask for your forgiveness. This old guy has done his share of fiddling around with computers, starting with the Commodore 128D and has now grown impatient, crying mama as soon as something needs to be investigated. I simply want to organize my photos to make it easier to overview and save space. I will gladly download apps and use them, just consider that I was most computer-comfortable in 2006, on a PC.
Thanks in advance, and apologies to those who can't be bothered with impatient *******s.
