Help

What does it mean if it says 38 processed with 26 errors, exporting to USB stick? Worried that Iโ€™m going to lose my photos since I asked to delete after export

Response from developer

Hi Brian! First: Your photos should be safe. Three safeguards are in place when choosing "delete after export": 1. The App verifies that the photo's export files are on target disk (with size > 0) before marking the image for deletion. If the export throws an error, typically the files are not written and thus nothing gets deleted. 2. All Photos marked for deletion get deleted not before additional final confirmation of you - the deletion confirmation dialog appears after export; if unsure, do not confirm. 3. Even if images are confirmed and thus deleted: all deleted images are kept in your "deleted images" album for 30 days. You can view, select and undelete them with your System Photos App. Second: On the errors. If the target device is full or faulty, errors may occur. Not sure what caused the errors on your end without looking into details. Feel free to share some details or the latest export log file so that I can analyse further. My contact is in the app. Best regards, Oliver

Amazingly simple and so good

You would not believe how complicated and such a pain it is on iOS to just export photos externally without a pc. This app takes the hassle out of the process and works perfectly. Totally free and highly recommended. Thanks to the devs for no ads, no IAPS just a lovely to use app. Cheers.

Hits the spot

This is a great app that is easy to use and does the job beautifully. It addresses a major gap with photo management on Mac OS. Also, the developer is very responsive with support.
