Unexpected Vault Behavior- missing images
Let me preface this by saying that I'm not one of those users that cries "Aperture deleted my images", and my first thought is always user error when I see one of those posts. However, I've had two recent experieces that make me question that position. This is one of them:
I wanted to copy my main library to a new drive, but it was going slowly so I decided to take a different route: I updated my vault, created a new library then restored the new library from the vault. This is one of those rare moments when one is restoring from a vault with the original library still intact.
Everything went as planned, and as expected, until I compared the two libraries. There was a 31.16 GB discrepancy so I started digging and found that the new library had 351 fewer images than the original.
Images in the trash? no
Images offline? no
Closed/opened stacks? no
Deleted images saved out out of vault? Only accounts for about 5 GB
My Math:
Library restored from vault: 91,102 photos @ 648.21 GB
Original library 91,453 photos @ 679.37 GB
351 missing 31.16 GB Difference
There are images from four different cameras ranging from 6MP to 12MP so if i average that to 9MB each I get:
351x 9MB = 31.59 GB
My conclusion: there actually are 351 missing images!
I can't think of a filtering scheme that can tell me which 351, and I can't account for this. Can anyone else?
