1. Insert compact flash card<\/p>\n
2. Photos opens automatically and displays Import function<\/p>\n
3. Uncheck “Open Photos for this device” (shown below) and close Photos.<\/p>\n
4. Eject disk<\/p>\n
5: Optional: Reinsert CF card, Photos does NOT open (as expected)<\/p>\n
6: Reformat card in camera (Canon 1DX). Take photos<\/p>\n
7. Reinsert same CF card.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
8. Photos opens automatically and displays Import function. This is not expected behavior.<\/p>\n

Others have described this problem on Reddit<\/a> and some on Sportsshooter have offered solutions<\/a>, though I want to avoid using Terminal.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n Are other professional photographers having this problem in their workflow?\u00c2\u00a0 After photographing the Duke Blue Devils soccer game vs. VA Tech (photo gallery on goduke.com) I discovered this issue. In El Capitan, Photos wants to open every time I insert a newly formatted compact flash card, even when I\u00c2\u00a0\u00e2\u20ac\u0153tell\u00e2\u20ac\u009d it …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"spay_email":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[106],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.accphotos.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1497"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.accphotos.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.accphotos.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.accphotos.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.accphotos.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1497"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.accphotos.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1497\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.accphotos.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1497"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.accphotos.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1497"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.accphotos.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1497"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"image\"](\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/68.media.tumblr.com\/c8b752ae1596c0e349409ed66fba94f5\/tumblr_inline_nx5o56yD0p1r4otob_540.png?w=762\")
