Something that has been a constant irritant of late is that whenever I plug in my cards it automatically launches Photos. You have to wait while it gets the data from the card before shutting it down to start the import. There is an option to turn off the auto import but it's device specific and after each format it sees the card as a new device. Why you cannot disable this piece of numpty software is beyond me. I have been looking for a solution and think I may have found it.

This seems to stop Photos from Auto Launching

I have just done an OSX update last night so may have to reapply it, but so far it has been good.
