If you’re a Mac user and are annoyed that OS X automatically launches Apple Photos every time you connect a device or insert a memory card, there’s good news for you: you can disable the program from launching for all devices with a single command.
I find this change by Apple really annoying in particular because, every time you format your memory card (which I do often), OS X/Photos (an app I’m never going to use but can’t delete – thanks Apple!), forgets and treats it like a new device. So being able to kill this activity using a Terminal command is a Godsend.
This just gave an idea for a neat little app project. Thanks Shawn!
You’re very welcome! Hope it works out for you.
Great. What is the command ?
Hey Siri – don’t fucking launch photos every time I turn the god damn water on.
(enhancement request)
Mine does not do this, anecdotally. I just formatted a card to be sure and nothing happened.
Then you must have disabled it at some point.
