Q: deleting reference master files

And so on! I did also an terminal code to look if the external trash shows something?

ls -la /Volumes/nameofthedisk/.Trashes

total 0

d-wx-wx-wt@  3 levindenboer  staff  102  3 sep 18:14 .

drwxrwxr-x+ 21 levindenboer  staff  782 20 aug 12:20 ..

drwx------@  5 levindenboer  staff  170  3 sep 18:24 501

And there is still 1 image in my Trash can on my iMac from the external disk?

UNBELIEVABLE

Realy Unbelievable! I just read the line were you tell me about the @ sign. So i think lets give it a go...

ls -la@

And there it was...

com.apple.FinderInfo             32

drwx------    6 levindenboer  staff    204  3 sep 20:32 .Trash

So i went to my Library and in the preference folder i deleted those prefs 'com.apple.FinderInfo', restart my mac and my External disk Pegasus R6 and what do you think..... YES!

I Can delete images straight from Aperture!!!! Unbelievable!!!! i don't know if this is the solution but it worked for me!

IT IS UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! It went well for 4 day's, and today!!!! AGAIN...

It seems that when we make a new project true Aperture on our Extended HD disk the permissions are ?????

We just did an ls -la /Volumes/namedisk/foldername

and we see this:

Do you see the same thing as i see??? The new projects we have made the last day's has an + sign at the end of the permission settings? What is that??

The projects with the + sign there is no problem with, we can delete images true Aperture directly to our Trash.

But the ones without the + sign won't work???

So what is the + sign???

Hello every body.

We have an solution to delete the master images true Aperture. This solutino came directly from the developpers of Promise Technology Inc. Thank's to Michele.

This is what you have to do, it work's fine by us, so let's give it an try.

Workaround:

After starting or mounting the Pegasus disk, simply copy a random file to the drive (using the OSX Finder) and delete this file (again using the Finder).  This looks to create a Trash folder which can then be accessed by Aperture.

After a restart or eject of the Pegasus disk, you will need to do this again, otherwise you will not be able to delete referenced files in Aperture again.

That easy!

Glad you got a respolution for this. Still seems strange that creating the .Trash folder and chmoding it didn't work. Could you post the directory permissions on the .Trash file after you have done this procedure and have Aperture able to access the .Trash folder? I'd be interested to see what permissions the Peguaus disk is setting.

thanks

The permissions on the .Trash file after i did the finder deleting things is;

drwxrwxr-x@   3 levindenboer  staff    102 18 sep 19:30 .Trashes

Hi,

A easy workaround is to map the NAS, with the protocol SMB instead of AFP, and you will be able to delete your referenced files.
