Hi all!

Been wondering about this for a while. Photos is supposed to shrink its library automatically when "Optimize Mac Storage" option is set. But I have two users on my machine and a large library on one user does not shrink when the other user runs low on space.

So, is there a way to trigger Photos to shrink its library? Maybe a terminal command that requests Photos to minimize the library? Or some other way to remove downloads.. That's how iTunes Cloud works, there I can select all songs and "Remove download" and thus reclaim space if necessary.
