Laundry Day. Among other things.
Today is my first day back doing computer work after a week of breaking from photography/technology. And what do you suppose happens? Aperture crashes. Not the first time, although it’s always annoying. But here’s the kicker. I tried to open it and it gives me this error: “There was an error opening the database for the library “~/Pictures/2010 Library.aplibrary” After googling the error, I find that “oh well, this happens.” And I’m supposed to repair the library database. Which has been sitting at 0% for the last hour. And apparently that’s normal. Aperture is starting to be my least favourite Apple product ever. It crashes on a daily basis. When I switched from aperture 2 to 3, it DELETED my entire library. GONE. DELETED. Luckily I had about 90% backed up at that time. (I lost my Olympic pictures) AND, I hear that this has been a common problem. I’m sorry, what?? Deleting entire libraries of photos is common, and yet Apple released it still??
I’m going to try a few changes, and if that doesn’t help much then…goodbye aperture. I will be moving to Adobe Lightroom ASAP. I can’t waste all this time waiting for software to reload.
