Importing an Aperture Library - Nothing Happening

[DetroitPhotog]

I've finally decided to import some of my Aperture libraries. So far I have gone to the Data menu in PSU and clicked on the "Import from Aperture" item and then pointed the file dialog to my Aperture library. Nothing seems to happen - there is no activity indicated in the left-hand pane - it says "Activities (no processes). The disk is not being accessed and nothing seems to be happening.

I've tried to look for the manual entries relating to Aperture imports via the Quickstart options in the Help menu and have found nothing yet. Could someone please point me to the manual section that covers Aperture imports and where I can find it? Also, is there a full manual for PSU rather than the Quickstart items in the help menu?

Any help appreciated!

Thanks!

You should use the latest version of Aperture (and stared it st least once)

Start the import from the data menu

Select the folder that represents your Aperture library

Start the import


More in general, I don't recommend that you import from Aperture (you'll also import the erroneous entries in there and also the extensive XMP isn't in their library and so after import you'll miss most of the valuable data that is in your metadata). Best to I mport from the file system using PSU's import module.

Thanks, Hert, I will import via the FileSystem import.

Cheers!
