What is the best way to delete files from Aperture (version master)?
I have noticed an inconsistent behavior by Aperture while trying to delete files. Or probably I haven't got a hang of how Aperture treats files to be deleted. By delete, I mean, permanently removing a version and its master image from my hard disk. (I store my images in my hard disk outside of Aperture i.e. use the referenced file approach). Over the past few months, I identified 100s of images as 'Rejected' by selecting 9 as their rating, and then deleting all these files by selecting 'Delete Master Image and all Versions' from the File menu. And then emptying my Trash, both in Aperture and on my system. However, later on when I visited their respective folders on my hard disk where the masters are stored, all of them were still present.
However, when I individual delete a file by selecting 'Delete Master Image and all Versions' (as against rating them as x and then collectively deleting all rejected files), and then go ahead to empty my Trash, I notice that the master file has been deleted.
Can someone help explain/ resolve this?
