    Is it possible to add a photo to a contact? In Sequoia you could just drag a photo from your desktop to the contact.

    It seems that under Tahoe you have to put the photo into Photos (an app IrCOve never used) before you can add it to a contact.

    Or am I missing something?

    I ran into the same issue. Hoping it's something that gets resolved.
    Just installed the first update to Tahoe last night so they're clearly
    working out the kinks already, haha.

    Well, good.

    And another thing...

    I really like the new Spotlight feature, especially that it remembers everything that has been on the clipboard for a few hours. Except that for me, and certainly for some others it stops working after a few hours, and you have ato reboot to get it working again..

    That has been the case for several upgrades lately. Some have brought welcome improvements but all have brought added "features" which add complexity but
    not benefit.

    So much for the KISS principle!

    According to this website:

    <https://support.ntiva.com/hc/en-us/articles/39853826658701-macOS-Tahoe-Disable-Clipboard-History-in-Spotlight>

    It can be toggled at the bottom of System Settings > Spotlight ->
    Clipboard Search. The default seems to be off and that's what I'm
    seeing. There is still an option to delete Spotlight's search history
    in System Settings.

    FWIW I use Jumpcut which keeps the last n cuts so you can easily re-use
    them and also shares them with other machines that are logged into the
    same account.

    It works well and keeps out of the way.
