Hi,
My case : a folder with around 28000 pictures : family, kids, vacations, my precious folder I want to keep safe. Divided with folders : one year = one folder and inside, folders for months and / or events if revelant. Old-school style I know but it's safe... Everything on an external HD, which is on Time Machine and also online with BackBlaze...
Now, to use an easier way to browse the files (face recognition, places...), I would like to copy these pictures in Photos but every time I try to import some folders, this is the dialog box I see...

I've just downloaded Mylio to give a try. Made a folder with 1000 pictures, import went fine. One more 1000 pictures folder to import... Went fine. The free version is limited to 25000 pictures : let me try with 25000... Boom, 25000 imported, not a single corrupted file...

Also imported in Better Finder Attributes and every file can be read, no sign of corrupted data...
Have you ever experienced this dialog box ? ' Invalid : Couldn't communicate with a helper application ' ?
Thank you for your help 🤝
Cédric
