Update: now available in Homebridge with an easy to configure plugin: github.com/lastowl/home...

This would make me smile if it wasn’t so true.

I use an auto nightly shortcut that moves all screenshots taken that day to a Files folder. It doesn’t erase the copy in Photos. I just know that I can safely delete any screenshot clogging my photo library as long as it’s older than one day because I have a copy elsewhere. Files search is good.

Worked perfectly.

Update: if this happens to you, call apple and tell them the package has been lost. They’ll “investigate” and the next day they’ll usually just process it. I guess they search it down or take the insurance payout. Either way, they usually make it right for the customer.
