Bug Fixes

Bug Fixes

This release includes a few bug fixes as well as a new feature to fix photo orientation upon export.

Added

• --fix-orientation flag to osxphotos export command to automatically adjust the orientation of exported photos to match the orientation stored in the Photos database. This is mostly useful for iPhoto libraries which do not treat orientation adjustments as edits and thus no edited image with the correct orientation is created. #1396

Fixed

• Unified the fingerprint code for sync and import which improves reliability and makes it possible to implement the osxphotos compare command. #1389
• If a path is invalid in the osxphotos export command and the passed path includes smart quotes, the error message will now tell the user to remove the smart quotes. This fixes a common user error when pasting from TextEdit or Notes that use smart quotes. #1408
• Fixed osxphotos repl to work when connected via SSH. #1332

Changed

• Added index to history table in export databasel; this should speed up exports with --update (migrates export database to version 9.1)

Removed

Contributors

• @RhetTbull @RhetTbull for code.
• @mlevin77 @mlevin77 for suggesting the --fix-orientation flag.

Fixes for iPhoto export and Google Takeout import.

Added

Removed

Changed

• iPhoto export will now write the photo rating to the XMP:Rating field with --sidecar and --exiftool options. (#1353)
• osxphotos import --sidecar-template renamed to --sidecar-filename to avoid ambiguity with the osxphotos export option --sidecar-template. (#1351)

Fixed
