Hi, Instead of copy/paste, you should use the export feature. So, in the sidebar, make sure that Photos is selected. Stop interacting with the sidebar and navigate to the Collection area. Interact with it, then press cmd-a to select all. It will likely say some illogical number that probably has more to do with the number of sub-collections than the number of photos, but it does actually select all of them. Press VO-m to go up to the File menu, then arrow down to Export, and right to Photos. Note that it should say "Photos" followed by the number of photos that were selected. Mine said 59998, so your 5000 should be fine to export. A dialog will appear where you can select the format to export along with some other settings related to videos etc. Make your selections, then press the Export button. The Save dialog should present itself where you can choose the thumb drive as the location. You should be good to go from there.

So far, I have been unable to figure out how to do this, but I’m sure I am missing something. I am trying to find a way, within the photos app on the Mac, to select and copy all photos to the clipboard so that they may be transferred to a thumb drive. I have about 5000 photos, but I can only seem to select some of them, there are so many sections within that app, it does not seem possible to put all the photos in a list view. I would be very excited if someone is familiar enough with the photos app, to find a way to copy all of the photos from the app so that they can all be transferred. Thanks for any assistance you may be able to provide. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
