pretty sure Apple wants their Photo app to be one of the walled gardens, they're not looking to make it browseable in their browser.
and while I'm here, if you export/backup your heic photo library from your Mac, the .mov files from "live" photos are separate files, and not part of the .heic (unless they are both)
- CharlesW 4y ago> pretty sure Apple wants their Photo app to be one of the walled gardens… They're doing an awful job of it then. If you read the link above you already know that HEIC (HEVC in HEIF) isn't an Apple invention, but an ISO standard that Apple chose to adopt. With macOS Ventura, Photos will also support AVIF (AV1 in HEIF). In addition to those HEIF-based formats, Apple Photos supports any image file/container and media formats you might expect should work, along with RAW formats from these camera: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212821 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212821 You can also export to JPEG, PNG, and TIFF. There's a whole ecosystem of apps that can work with the Apple Photos catalog directly, an extension system for 3rd-party developers, blah blah blah.
