    Why does editing a photo with Photos app block the file?


    When I edit a photo in the Photos app and rotate it 1 degree and save it, the file properties shows that it is "blocked" because it came from another computer. it was created on this same computer and was not initially blocked.Why would this happen? Answer: It makes no sense.

    :)

    Replacement for photo viewer

    I just use the Photos app for a quick view, otherwise I use Adobe Lightroom to view and edit photos.
