There seems to be at least one capricious UI change: Previously "T" toggled the 'Metadata Tooltips' (pg 213 of the manual). Now it's Cntrl-T. At least we can 'Customize Keyboard Shortcuts' if we want the old technique.


From the support doc:

"The keyboard shortcut to show Tooltips has been changed from “T” to “Control + T” to prevent accidental activation."

I applaud that change -- and I will most certainly customize it back. It has been one of the "most-asked-for-help-solving" topics in the Aperture discussions (that is, right here) for as long as 3.x has been out (or at least seems as much -- I have not done any numerical analysis). To me at least that falls far below the cut-off for "capricious".


Thanks for the heads up.

Indeed, you and others have helped several people who've wonder "wha' happened?" when the popups show up. I (and by inference, you) find a single-key toggle convenient. When that box shows up, it's hard for people to divine what it's called so they can help themselves by looking it up. Odd, I don't see either form in the Help menu's Keyboard Shortcuts document.

Excellent point.

Unrelated to the above but related to the thread:

The change to the "t" key shortcut does not affect already-customized Command Sets ( ... it shouldn't, so that's good). If you are using a customized Command Set, you won't have to reset the "t" key shortcut (but you will have to change it if you want the newly-changed default behavior).


Also:

After installing the upgrade, on launching Aperture my Library was scanned (and upgraded?). Took less than a minute. No idea what it was doing -- but willing to guess that it was looking for on-line galleries, of which I have none.
