Q: "Do not import duplicates" IS importing duplicates

Why does "do not import duplicates" no longer work in Aperture 3?

I've upgraded to 3.1.1.

This "pro" app is making managing my photos really a pain in the rear.

What. Is. The. Deal?

MacBook Pro C2D, Mac OS X (10.5.1)

    But quoting from above:

     

    "Aperture checks the filename of the master to determine if an image is a duplicate of one in the library. Select the “Do not import duplicates” checkbox to prevent Aperture from importing duplicates."

     

     

    That description matches how I want it to behave.  i.e. if I've got image XYZ.jpg on my flashcard and you see that I've got XYZ.jpg in my Aperture library - don't re-import this DUPLICATE image. 

     

    There is no time zone in the filename of the master, so they've introduced a bug if their duplicate detection depends on tme zone.

    I just stumbled upon this Aperture bug after switching the time zone on my macbook pro on a flight back home from vacation.  As with Shaun, switching the time zone back to the previous time zone allowed Aperture to detect duplicated again.  As someone who travels a lot, I'd love to see this issue addressed in the next update.

    Apple are aware of the issue, as I filed a bugreport that was marked as a duplicate. I have not other info.

    I am seeing the same behavior, I just did a transatlantic cruise, and after changing timezones as we proceeded westward, the issue showed up.  I hope it gets fixed in the next update.  Now if I can just figure out how to get my .mov files to import as they have before the 3.2.1 update, I will be a happy user again.
