OS X Photos App Corrupts Library if used with Leica M Monochrom Files
Get Leica M Monochrom at B&H Photo.
I feel spot on my Apple Core Rot position.
See The Best Way to use Apple’s Photos App.
Leica M Monochrom Typ246 DNG files are currently incompatible with Apple’s ‘Photos’ App in Mac OS X Yosemite causing the library to crash and potentially lose all existing image files in the Apple Photos library.
This is pathetic... corrupting an entire library from a program crash? It indicates programming incompetence along with very poor quality assurance procedures. Data corruption is inexcusable and there are many ways of defensively coding (I was a professional software engineer for 25 years and I know a little about the matter). Sadly, more and more bugs and increasingly blatant ones emerge with each Apple OS X release, sprouting like mushrooms after a rain.
