[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1842765, member: 396914"] Sue, what he is doing is using Finder to go the actual "photos library.photoslibrary" database and then viewing the contents. If you do that you get this: [ATTACH=FULL]31100[/ATTACH] And then if you open up the numbered folders you see this inside: [ATTACH=FULL]31101[/ATTACH] So, basically he's seeing the internal structure of the Photos database and wonders if he can change it. The quick answer is NO, because the software is expecting the structure as you see it. However, if he exports a file from inside Photos, using the Export function, the original name is attached to it because that information is also stored in the database. I guess (I never looked) that iPhoto had a different schema for the database, one more based on the time of import, or picture taken or some date. But Photos works differently internally than iPhoto did. [/QUOTE]
