Re: [apple-iphone] Photos imported not deleted

 

Jim,

 
   What the poster is referring to is that;

   Yes, you could click a checkbox in iPhoto, once iPhoto opened.     

   After importing the photos from your iPhone; it would then delete the photos that were transferred to the Mac from the iPhone.
  
   That option is now gone.   And I have no idea why....

   It makes it a bit more difficult:   Now, after you download the photos from your phone to the Mac, you now have to delete them from the iPhone in a separate operation.   Which is very difficult if you are not transferring all your photos, and only some.

   The old way was easier as it was automatic.   Once photo transferred to Mac, the photo deleted from iPhone.

   I often have a couple hundred to a couple thousand photos on my iPhone at any given time.   I don't transfer using iPhoto as much anymore due to this issue.

Earlier, you wrote:
When I import photos into my MacBook from my iPhone XS (latest iOS) the option to delete imported photos does not appear 

I note that "delete imported photos" can only mean "delete from the Macbook that imported the photos", since on the iPhone they are EXPORTED photos, not IMPORTED.

I plug in my iPhone XS into the Macbook and import the photos into the app iPhoto.  

Current and recent versions of macOS do not include the app "iPhoto".
Not doe the iOS on the iPhone XS.

Earlier iPhoto allowed one the option to delete the imported photos.

You mean the app on the Macbook somehow deleted the images on the iPhone?
I don't think so.

After importing say a hundred photos into the Mac I would like to save say 25 on the Mac and delete the rest.  After doing so when I plug the iPhone in again the 75 photos which I do not want are again imported as they have not been deleted on the iPhone.  

Ummm.
Pick out the ones you don't want and delete them before the import operation.

I regularly (3-4 times a week) import dozens of images from my iPhone XS Max to my MacbookPro (10.14.3). 
Before I do so, I look through them and hand-delete any I am unhappy with (accidental exposures, out of focus, inadequately lit, and so forth).
I then batch-select the images on the iPhone within Photos, by tapping "Select", then tapping each photo that I wish to EXPORT. 
Next, I use Airdrop to move them.
Once I have checked that they got across safely, I return to Photos on the iPhone, where the originals are all still highlighted, and tap "Delete".

I then sort the images imported to my Mac into appropriate folders.
For those images I wish to have available available on my iPhone, I copy them from these named folders into subfolders within that folder designated from within iTunes for syncing with the iPhone, and perform a sync operation.

Thus I have just those I want on the iPhone, in a designated and titled subfolder, accessible within Photos, but NOT in the Camera Roll.

So I end up with an archive of iPhone photos in a safe location on my Mac (which is automatically backed up), with selected images stored on the iPhone which cannot be accidentally deleted FROM the iPhone (images imported via iTunes can only be removed by removing them from the syncing folder and re-syncing)..

Personally, I would ABSOLUTELY NEVER allow computer software to automatically delete photos I have taken.
