Hello, I recently wanted to export some photos from Apple’s Photos application and import them on my partner’s Mac, without losing any metadata, keeping Live Photos as-is (not just a JOG), etc. I found osxphotos [0] to be a great tool for this (and it can do much more!).
The osxphotos installation instructions [1] recommend installing pipx via Homebrew, and then using pipx to install osxphotos. Alternative recommendations are using pip instead of pipx, or installing from source. I could use MacPorts instead of Homebrew to install pipx, but I prefer to avoid installing software via language-specific package managers, because I don’t want to have to deal with all those individual package managers (pip, pipx, npm, etc.), separately from MacPorts. The osxphotos author is a MacPorts user too, but isn’t familiar with creating Portfiles and currently doesn’t have time to learn how to set this up [2]. Sadly I am not familiar enough with the Python world to know how to create a Portfile for osxphotos. Does someone here think MacPorts could install osxphotos without using an intermediary package manager like pipx? If someone would be willing to create an initial Portfile for osxphotos I wouldn’t mind volunteering to keep it up to date. Let me know if you’d like to help out with getting this going. Nils.
