Unable to import photos using OS27 Golden Gate

Is anyone else having trouble importing photos using OS27 Golden Gate? When I click on to import photos nothing happens and the program closes on my Mac Studio.

The Photos.app is checking for duplicates when you are importing new photos. This can take a long time, if your photo library is large and has not yet been fully indexed.


I am downloading the photos from my external hard drive to my Mac Studio. In the past I am able to click the import photos button as soon as all the photos have populated and they would import. I am finding in Golden Gate that I have to wait as long as 15 minutes, depending on the number of photos before the photos will import. Why is that?

How are you importing photos? From what app to what app?

I'm having the same issue with MacOS Golden Gate and IOS 27 on my iPhone 16 Pro
