My photos app is not responding. I think it has to do with a corrupted file in my library. Holding down command and option does not open up a dialogue for me, is there another way to access the library repair tool?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.13
Is the system version show below your post still valid? macOS 10.13? Or have you already upgraded to Catalina ?
You may want to test, if Photos is able to run at all, if you launch it directly from the Applications folder. This will ensure, that you are not using an old alias in the Dock or on the Desktop, that is incorrectly linked.
If Photos is working on anew library, but not on your main library, make sure, the new library is in a suitable location. It must not be on a network volume or a volume, that has been used for Time Machine backups and it must not be in a synced folder (Dropbox, iCloud Drive, Google Drive).
