v0.77.1

Fix missing search info (activities and more) on macOS 27 and a spurious Photos.app warning on startup.

2026-09-23

Added

  • Added new SearchInfo properties exposing additional search categories from Photos: times_of_day, week_part, home, areas_of_interest, country_code, region, continent, events, event_performers, event_types, pets, landmarks, sounds, human_actions, document_types, and trip (Photos 8+), plus day_of_week, age_groups, photographic_style, file_type, captured_by_me, id_document_types, and id_document_names (macOS 27+ only). These are included in SearchInfo.asdict() and, except for the identity document fields, in SearchInfo.all (#2221).
  • Added search media types for cinematic, long exposure, live depth, and spatial photos (#2221).

Changed

  • SearchInfo.all and SearchInfo.asdict() (and therefore the search_info section of PhotoInfo.json()) now include the new search categories listed above.

Removed

Fixed

  • Fixed SearchInfo.activities (and {searchinfo.activity}) always being empty on macOS 27. The leo.sqlite search database uses different category IDs than psi.sqlite, and the activity category (along with many others: venue types, venues, events, pets, landmarks, most media types, etc.) was not mapped. All known leo.sqlite categories are now mapped to their Photos 8+ equivalents (#2221, thanks @itsluisf for the detailed report and research).
  • Fixed venue types on macOS 27 being populated with internal Photos placeholder tokens (e.g. PGPlaceParkSearchableText); these internal keys are now filtered out of search info (#2221).
  • Fixed spurious Attempt to load executable of a type that cannot be dynamically loaded for CFBundle ... </System/Applications/Photos.app> warning printed on startup with pyobjc >= 10. Photos.app and Photos.framework share the bundle identifier com.apple.Photos; photoscript compiles a tell application "Photos" AppleScript on import, which registers Photos.app under that identifier, so pyobjc then tried to dynamically load the app before falling back to the framework. osxphotos now loads Photos.framework first (#2212, thanks @oPromessa for reporting).
