Surprise![^]
I am not sure why that post didn't come up in search results and it does contain the "exact same" URL I was going to post.

Agree with PO'H. It was good. Better than first part IMO.

Nope... It is not better than Avengers 1 at all. Avengers 1 was better.
What would be better then? The actual Avengers 2 releasing almost in August in Blu Rays. It is expected to be of 2:20 hours run time (this one is of 2:10), and also is expected to have an alternate ending.
The ending of this Avengers was not so good. Seriously!

Don't give spoilers without putting a warning on your subject line - some of us (most of us) probably haven't seen it yet...

You know I said to the wife after I posted that, let's watch Galaxy Quest tonight. I have no idea why, but she said no!

So, apple have come out with Photos - the replacement for iPhoto.
not sure why - but there you have it - no real choice as iPhoto effectively deprecated (although you can continue to use current versions.
So, I have 250Gb of photos in iPhoto on my NAS.
Open Photos, it asks me if I want to convert to Photos.
"Sure!"
Hours later it finishes, I have a play, all looks good, if not particularly different, and that's that.
Then I want to look at some photos on my other machine.
No worries.
Open Photos, select photo library, says it needs to convert it! Oh well. Say OK.
Long story short -
When it converts on a Mac drive it does so using hard links - so one copy of the photo, but two libraries - one iPhoto library and on Photos library. iPhoto updates one library while Photos updates the other.
But because it's on the NAS (I think) it duplicates the photos too. so now I had 500Gb photos split across two libraries - and when I opened the iPhoto library in Photos a second time, "Something went Wrong"
Now, of course I have backups, so nothing too tragic - but playing with 250Gb of files is never a fun job when you're not sure what's wrong.
Finally I decided to take a copy of the (working) iPhoto library, then delete the Photos library and re-convert.
It's doing that now.
If it fails,I will cry
It's certainly a clever tricj to use hard links to save having to copy photos when upgrading - but it would have been nice to get a "I'm about to copy 250Gb of photos - is that really what you want to do" warning!

You forgot that apple is only compatible with itself, when you're lucky.

The other side of that coin is, "people who use Apple products are too dumb by twice."

I don't know how they manage to do that, but it seems like you can get in the same situation with iTunes. I don't use it myself, but every time a buddy of mine replaces one of his iDevices and asks for my help to do the initial setup and sync, or his machine blows up and we restore from a backup then re-do the initial sync, somehow he ends up with his whole library getting duplicated somewhere and taking twice the space it did before.
I told him there's a reason I'm not using Apple products. They're made for a special type of people, and apparently that bar is too high for me.

My wording was intentional.
I call it self-deprecation turned cynicism, and it gets the point across.

It seems like every few months my wife comes to me to help her figure out iTunes. "It told me to update and now everything is moved around and I can't find XYZ..." That's besides the rarer "my playlists have disappeared" or "where are they putting her ripped CD's now?".
Unfortunately she has no choice but to use it since she has an iPhone.

Is the NAS using SMB for access? Microsoft only invented hard links recently, and SMB predates that by something like a decade.
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

Yeah - it is SMB
Disappointing that the app doesn't detect if it's requirements aren't supported...
