Q: Export as new library does not include masters (managed files)
-
Jun 25, 2012 9:21 AMby dfoerster,This is getting weird. Exporting to the local disk works fine (masters included). When I export to my external harddrive (ntfs formatted) with exactly the same settings the masters are not included in the export. This is also reflected in the filesize of the collection as displayed in the finder.
William, thanks for the hint. The setting doesn't make any difference for me, probably because I am using a managed collection.

On the other hand that's pretty disappointing. I don't see why Aperture would require any special filesystem features. Apple really needs to work on interopability!
