Aperture Has Lost My Images (the masters!)
Yesterday, my girlfriend and I used my laptop as part of a school assignment of hers along with a Canon 5D. We were able to shoot over 300 pictures over four hours. Every once in a while, I would adjust levels on a recently shot image. We stopped tethering, disconnected the camera and closed Aperture. We started to go through the photos tonight but many photos are displaying the Unsupported Image Format message. I knew that Aperture doesn't support many camera RAW formats, but I knew it did support the 5D. It turns out that the RAW files are completely missing from the database, though there are thumbnails for them. I can't export a master or a version of the majority of the images that were shot.

Here's me browsing for them in Terminal, you can see that a large portion of the images are completely missing:

Given the applications Adobe makes, the word color appears many times. Every time the word colour needs to be changed from color in an Adobe application, Adobe adds $5 to the price.

(Seriously, I'd just buy the American version and call it a day.)

Ugh, just ran into this bug, I can't believe that a software company this large and successful does things like this.

Brian Puccio marked one of Fraser Speirs' replies in Connected Flow as useful. Fraser Speirs replied to the problem "Aperture hangs at end of long FlickrExport with Error 2, 25% of images missing".

OK, so the error 2 is on Flickr's end? I'll file a bug report on their end. (If I sniff the traffic, will I be able to get any more information regarding this error?)

I'll also be sending in an email to get a prerelease build.

Hi Fraser,

Any word on this situation, we're having the same problem over here.

Thanks!

Brian Puccio replied on February 08, 2009 20:17 to the problem "command-w should close the skitch window" in plasq:

Agreed.

Let's say I'd like to cancel a capture I've made because I've done something wrong. How can I close this particular capture without saving it? Command + W is the keyboard shortcut in every other Mac application I've used.

Why am I looking for this particular keyboard shortcut? Well, I looked for a close or cancel button and didn't see one. Maybe it's there, but it's now where it is in every single other Mac application I use.

(Maybe coming up with your own UI isn't the best thing.)
