Quick News Update: Photos for Mac Updated in 10.10.4

Apple rolled out an update for Yosemite yesterday, and part of that update featured a minor update to Photos for Mac. This was primarily a bug fix release, but one of the improvements listed is more reliable syncing. I've talked about in the past briefly about the issues that I've been having with syncing on Photos, namely that it stops intermittently and you have to re-start the application or the iOS photos app.

It's too early to tell if this has fixed the problem or not, but based on my initial testing it seems to be working a bit better. I haven't had it stop syncing on me yet, but, as I said, it's too early to tell.

What I wish they'd implement is some mechanism or interface to force a refresh. Something like scrolling to the bottom and past the bounce back point to trigger a refresh, much like the scroll to refresh function in many iOS apps. As it is the only way to force a refresh seems to be to quit and re-launch the app.

Have you noticed any improvement? If so please let us know by leaving a comment below.
