Hi,
Catalina 10.15.3, Photos 5.0
I can't find exported photos. I select
File -> Export -> Export Unmodified Photos
I see no place to specify a directory in the dialog that pops up. I cannot find any exported photos -- even using a bash terminal and "find" command. I'm not even sure the photos were exported.
What gives...?
Well, Photos now works... after I reinstalled Catalina 10.15.4 from the network.... I have no idea what was wrong with my system. But many applications were not working, and CPU usage was through the atmosphere on many processes, including Mail, Safari, Photos, Siri, and others....

I never get that dialog at all. Perhaps that's the problem... my system seems to be all f^&$%#+@ up. I have this conversation going regarding my general system woes...

Log into another user account, Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac, and see if the problems persists. (This tells us if the problem is limited to your user account or is system wide).
Also download and apply the macOS Catalina 10.15.4 Combo Update.
Do you have photos selected, when you are trying to export?
First select the photos to export, then use the command "File > Export > Export Unmodified Originals". If no photo has been selected, the file chooser dialog will not appear.
When you export, use the option "Filename > Original Filename". If you use "File name > Use Title" you have to make sure, that the photo currently has a title. Photos will export the images as invisible files, if the title of a photo has been erased.
This bug has been around for a long time: Bug: Exporting Images with "Filename: Use Title" can export invisible files.
The first window allows you to select export options. Set what you want, then click on the Export button. Only then you’ll see the window that allows you to select the destination.
Unless you modified your Notifications settings, you should see a notification displayed telling you when the export has been completed. Useful if you’re exporting many photos at once, as that may take a bit of time.
If that’s not what you’re seeing, please explain in greater detail what is occurring.
Yes, I have files selected for export. No, I did not manually rename any of them.
I have never, ever encountered this problem previous to my upgrade to Catalina.
But, as I said, I know I'm having some serious problems with my system. I'll reinstall the OS first and then return to this problem (and several others I'm having)....
You get the option to pick the destination in the 2nd export window that comes up:
Where are photos exported from Photos 5.0 on Catalina....?
