Aperture Trash in Lion
Forgive any redundancy with this being my third post regarding this issue, but I just cannot believe I'm the only one, or one of just a few people experiencing this issue.
I've been using Aperture since it's launch and have always been working from the latest updates. But since upgrading to Lion, the Aperture libraries on my external drives will not trash images I no longer want in the library. These are all managed images, and not referenced. I delete the images (masters & versions) from my projects. They go into the trash area. I empty the trash. And then they disappear.
The image files remain in the folders, and nothing ever shows up in the computer's trash, and thus, I am not able to free up space on any of my external drives. Everything still works normally with the libraries on my computer.
So, if you are using Lion and Aperture 3.1.3 with a library on an external drive, please do a test and try to delete an image to see what happens. And if you have a solution for me, please let me know. I simply don't have the time to keep researching this issue, and I'm going to run out of money if I have to keep buying new externals.
Thanks.
FYI The guy at the Genius Bar determined that this was a user level problem, and that I would have to rebuild my user account. But I am having this exact same issue on three different Macs with five different users. So it's either an Aperture thing or a Lion thing.
