I have many qualms with iPhoto. It sucks.

But this comment is so inaccurate I had to comment.

iPhoto/Photos doesn’t store your photos in a blob. They are exportable either via the stupid app or by the file system. The library is literally just a folder, and the images are stored by year month and day. It’s not magic.



Fair enough, I might be misremembering then. It was ten years ago, sorry.


It's one of those comments that was never true but has been repeated so much that people believe it.


Possible, I remember having to use some script to export all of my photos, not sure what the reason was. Perhaps I wanted to export by album, because I know a bunch of old photos from my olympus camera had incorrect timestamps.


And it’s all tied together with a sqllite db i believe as well.
