Is there a way to delay Photos app opening as SSD has to mount? Every time it says "cannot find disk" as I presume the SSD is taking a few more secs to open.

I have it set to open on login.
thanks
 
you can for example create an Applescript and run it at startup. Something like:

tell application "Safari" activate delay 30 end tell tell application "Photos" activate end tell

this will start Photos 30 seconds after Safari.

Or you use e.g Automator and add in a "Run AppleScript"--->delay 30. The value in both cases can be changed to what you require

Thanks I’ll try that as still happening. A minor annoyance, but something that should be fixable.
