Did you ever find a way to modify the default behavior? It's such a nuisance to have to use that menu option every time I want a single photo out of the Photos app.

Did the .../Masters/ folder contain all the originals imported to the Photos App? I started using Photos to collect all photos together, then changed my mind - can I get them all back out quickly this way?

I just inspected the app contents for the photo app, and found my Masters/ folder, and I see that it has used the filesystem like a database, so the files are spread across folders broken up by year, month, day, etc. Would make a good first app to create retrieve a copy of all the master copies out of the Photos app database.

A simple shell command would do;)

Masters has a structured file system organized by dates which I like. But if you want only photos, you can simply do the Smart Search... type "kind: image" in search from Masters folder and it will display all images within Masters. It will take a while for it to display all of them and you can then drag them to a different location.
