[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1842736, member: 396914"] Why are you mucking about in the innards of the photos database at all? There is no reason to do that, plus there is a chance you could mess it up and lose the entire thing if the database becomes inconsistent. Just use Photos itself to sort and find images. That is what the app is for, and it's pretty good at it. If you want one of the images as a file, you can export it from Photos to a file at that time. Now, if you want to see pictures organized in Photos, in the left sidebar you should see "Photos" as an option. Click on that and your pictures will show. At the top of the window you can select to organize by Years, Months, Days or see All. Photos will also allow you to find People, Places, recently added images. You can see media types (videos, selfies, live, portrait, etc. You can create your own albums of pictures. You can click on Imports and see the images by the date they were imported to Photos. So, don't muck with the database, use Photos. [/QUOTE]
