Deleting images after importing

Aperture 2.0 won't delete images from the card after importing. I click the button to delete and eject, and then in the confirmation dialog again I click delete, but it quietly ejects the card with no errors and all of my images are still on it.

I'm using an 8GB SDHC card with a SanDisk USB reader. My camera is a Nikon D40x.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.2), Nikon D40x

I'm getting frustrated (and somewhat annoyed) at the inability of Aperture 2.0 to delete images from a memory card.

Users that claim they don't get this option might like to set the "display alert when done" option in the Import panel. Once this is set, then the program displays an alert following successful import. There is the option to delete the imported images from the memory card.

The delete option worked flawlessly on versions 1.1 through to 1.5, but is now broken.

For reference, I'm using the new SanDisk Extreme IV Firewire (800) CF reader, and have been using a SanDisk Extreme III 4GB compact flash card.

This is a little OT: I tried a search and this was as close as I could get.

I am trying to Move files on import from 1 external HDD to a 2nd external HDD. After the import finishes, all my files are still on the original drive. Yes...I select 'Move Files' under the Store Files: drop down on each import.

This is sort of a delete process, yes?? Move files to new drive and delete from old drive. Could this be similar or related to the 'Delete Images From Card' issue??

Just a thought. Anyone else with this issue?

... I've noticed that Aperture can't delete from an external drive. If you try to delete referenced masters that reside on an external drive it presents a message to the effect that it is unable to move the files to the trash. Lightroom has no trouble doing this. Too bad Aperture can't do it. This ability is kind of important to my work flow.
