  1. Now that #Windows has the #AppleDevices app to replace #iTunes when it comes to making local, complete, encrypted backups of #Apple devices i.e. #iPhone, #iPod, #iPad, etc. - Windows also needs #macOS 's #ImageCapture app for quick exports of photo/video files. That'll be nice.

    Update:

    Well, apparently it's already achievable simply by having the Apple Devices app installed, and using the default Photos app on Windows.

    Doesn't seem to be working for me tho (the device isn't showing up in the Photos app, tho is on the Apple Devices app) - but that could just be either the fact that I'm doing this on a virtual machine (on
    #Linux), or bcos my device is an (outdated) iPod lol.

    Cool tho I guess that this simple functionality isn't somehow
    exclusive to Macs but also Windows PCs.

  2. Apple's Image Capture disappointed me again. So I wrote a utility to bypass it entirely, and backup photos from an old Android phone, using node.js and adb: soledadpenades.com/posts/2025/

  5. So a $10 app “PLIST Edit” later, I’ve set:

    <key>IK_MakeSubFoldersPerCamera</key>
    from <true/> to <false/>

    …and now the menu item “Make Subfolders Per Camera” has been returned to the destination UI, and I can check or uncheck it.

  6. In today’s episode of #Enshittification, serial Enshittifier #Apple returns, this time with #ImageCapture their generic image ingestion app. In its recent couple of OS versions, Apple removed the option to save images directly in the folder you choose, forcing you to save in a subfolder named for the device they came from.

    This option is in the .plist file, but in a double Enshittification that .plist is a binary file, so it can't be edited with a text editor.

  7. When I import photos / videos from my iPhone via Photos or Image Capture, the resulting files have a Creation timestamp matching the import time, and a Modification timestamp that is *one hour later* than the time the photo or video was taken. (Photos shows the correct time, but if I Export Unmodified Originals, the resulting files exhibit this issue.)

    This is inconvenient to me for Reasons, but also it seems inexplicable that the timestamps would be 1 hour in the future. #macOS #ImageCapture
