New post re Aperture 3 "processing" - for ever
By watching the Aperture 3 Activity window I see that each time it fairly zips through 'Processing 'n' of 'n' items - BUT - mine hangs when it reaches about 120. These are all large (110 MB files)
So, Each time it has hung I did a quit Process from the Activity window (NOTForce quit in case I lost all that had been processed. (It takes ages to quit) _ - then re-opened Aperture and started off again. However, as I write it hung again on the last part - 67 of 77!) Repeated the process and it hung on 3 of 10, 4 of 6 and even 1 of 2 and finally 0 of 1. After several tries I cannot get the last one processed! I have heard of the law of diminishing returns but this seems crazy!
This is a library of 174 GB on an external WB Firewire 800. My smallest library of 5.4 GB processed Ok eventually. However, my largest one - of 633 Gb - which is on my 1 TB iMac internal drive has hung so many times that I will now leave that until Apple provide a fix SOON!
