I guess the list of things keeping me off catalina (and, by extension, new Mac hardware) just got one item longer.

I recently bought a new System76 laptop as a stopgap, but it might end up becoming permanent. Kind of a sad end for 25+ years of Mac use.

What are the other problems with Catalina for you? I ask because every time there is an OS X update someone posts this exact sentiment but then over a few months the issues get resolved. Please don’t interpret this as an attack; I am genuinely curious and want to see if Apple ends up fixing things.

I my self have a maxed out 16 MacBook Pro and a for the first few weeks after the upgrade it was literally in usable because routine user input would result in the entire system locking up. I suspect it was actually this issue but, thankfully, the issue is now resolved.

I installed Catalina on my iMac several days ago and ImageCapture still has bugs! Although I can now select multiple photos to import from my iPhone 11, ImageCapture will not delete the photos after import. Previous to that, ImageCapture on Catalina would not import more than 10 photos without reporting an error. At least they fixed that bug.

I’m curious, is there a reason to use image capture when you can just AirDrop the images? Does Image Capture give you the HEIC format file or something?

Surely it's faster?

It requires finding a (USB 2.0) cable, connecting both devices, approving trust, and then opening an App and selecting and waiting.

AirDrop requires touch based selection and sharing on the iOS device and the transfer is very quick and if it’s your Mac the files go straight to your downloads folder.

So it’s more streamlined overall with AirDrop.

I had a colleague who used to do a similar dance with Image Capture. He had no idea he could AirDrop photos even though he airdropped files from Finder to others all the time.

Personally I just have them all sync via iCloud Photo Library.

The trust approval either never happens or it happened once and I don't remember. I also find it's a quicker interface than Airdrop, which is slow and also lengthened by my having to turn on bluetooth and then turn it off in the settings at the end. File transfer is much quicker.

Finding a USB cable though, sometimes that does take a search and a wee bit of cursing!

It’s always interesting to read about other folks workflows for simple tasks.
