I migrated my Aperture library into the new photos app, and elected to put all my photos into iCloud Photo. The old Aperture library lived on an external HD and when I open the new Photos app without that HD plugged in, it says it cannot find the library. Why am I getting this error message if everything is in iCloud?

How do I change the "library location"? I still want a local copy on an external drive, but if everything is in iCloud, shouldn't the actual location of the library not matter?
