Hey @fatcatsoftware! Can I make a feature request for PowerPhotos?

Would it be possible to "unmark" a photo as a screenshot? Like, make a photo that shows up as a screenshot not show up in the Screenshots folder anymore? Without re-creating it and screwing up the metadata

I have a home camera app on my phone that saves the pictures I take with it as screenshots for some reason, but they're very much not

@objc I'm actually not certain whether that's possible for a third party app to do or not, but I'll put it on the list and see if there's some way to do it in the future.

@fatcatsoftware While I'm here, another feature request, if possible: the ability to transcode an H.264 video to H.265, and the equivalent for photos, all while preserving the asset's "place" in the library

If that is something that is at all possible* it would be cool if I could also just drop-in replace the asset with one I transcoded myself to reduce the file size

• I fear it is not, since it modifies the "original" asset, and why would Photos ever re-sync the original, unmodified asset?

@objc Yeah, there isn't any way to straight up replace an item in the library, so it would involve something like importing the new item, deleting the old item, then trying to transfer the metadata from old to new, and placing the new item in all the same albums as the old one. A bit fraught, at the very least. :)
