How to fully consolidate library
Hi. I have consolidated my library, as follows:
- Select "Photos" in LIBRARY.
- Click in thumbnail area and Select All.
- File / Consolidate Masters...
- Move Files / OK [In an earlier consolidation I may have chosen Copy Files]
When I do that again, I received "The selection doesn’t have any referenced files." So far, so good.
But when I create a vault, I receive the following message:
New Vault Contents
6866 managed files will be included in this vault.
1645 referenced files will not be included. These need to be backed up separately.
Vaults provide automated backup of all master files stored inside your Aperture library. Master files for referenced images are stored elsewhere, and are not backed up in vaults.
Adjustments, ratings, and other metadata are included for all images, regardless of file location.
How do I consolidate those 1,645 referenced files? This worries me immensely as due to a separate problem, not solvable by AppleCare today, I am unable to restore an aplibrary using Time Machine.
