Thanks, interesting
Based on the lack of official Apple support for color tags with third party apps, would it be s good idea to avoid to be dependent on this functionality?

I understand, but I still think that the mobile interface as an option when in vertical orientation would be a nice extra bonus for iPad, if it is not to difficult to implement. The interface of the mobile app differs depending on orientation, I can see no problem with that implementation it is quite good, even if the horizontal mode is even more cramped on the phone

Yes I know, actually part of my workflow
What I am actually trying to achieve is some way to facilitate a form of a basic versioning functionality without creating copies, something I really miss I Nitro, but that I understand is difficult to achieve in a system lacking a catalogue function
I also have tried other variations on this theme such as xmp name swapping file copies (thinking about an external tool for this)
Another thing I have tried to explore is the possibility to create versions by “commenting out” relevant parts of the xmp file structure.
It is really fun to be able to play around with these odd activities without risking any impact on the core functionality of the application. I understand that this would add extra complexity for the application and perhaps user confusion, I keep it for myself

I am aware of that, but that was not really what I wanted

As far as I understand the current options are:

Save a NEW image to photos
Save a NEW to the file system
Copy the image + adjustments to the file system

What I asked about was the creation of a just a metadata file linked to an already existing file (referenced by photos) in the file system, referable with the file reference used by photos by default

Thanks
FYI LUT to adjustment functionality is implemented in Photomator so it is obviously possible to achieve (might require a substantial effort though…)

[Ingvar Thorsson]

If this is the case I also assume that Apple prohibits the workaround to initiate a photos import from an external app as well…
