Adjustments applied to wrong image.

Hi,

I'm a daily aperture user and I frequently notice that when I select a new image and apply adjustments nothing happens and I later discover they've been applied to the previously selected image which is frustrating and time consuming. It's only when I unselect and reselect the desired image that the changes then start to have any affect.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a way to over come it? I think I may have posted this problem a month or two ago and it was suggested that I delete the Aperture plist file which I did but it didn't fix it.

It happens on both my MacBookPro (late '12 model) and my MacPro (late '09 model) both running Aperture v3.4.3 and OSX 10.8.2.

Other than this I find Aperture an excellent image editing and organizing environment.

Hope you can help,

Dave.

MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Dave -- excellent sleuthing!

Do you guys not normally use keyboard shortcuts to switch between projects, adjustments and metadata panes?

Never. I use a high-resolution, programmable 15-button mouse (Razer Naga -- I love mine). Generally, while working in Aperture I keep my right hand on the mouse, and use my left for completely customized left-hand-only keyboard shortcuts. I made the decision to work this way because so much of what I do requires using the mouse that it made sense to buy a mouse with keys. (And I've done the same with the Wacom tablet.) I don't use shortcuts for most actions that I can effect with a single mouse click, preferring to save shortcuts for actions that are buried deeper in the interface or the menus.

This bug seems to have been fixed in the latest update to 3.4.4.

I've noticed another that's crept in though.... After importing from a memory card you get the option to delete or keep the pictures on the card and there's a check box to eject it but even with it checked it fails to eject the card leaving it mounted on the desktop.

The device may still be busy. Leave it until all data have been read.

I've since noticed that it only occurs when you click the delete photos on card button after importing. If you choose to keep the photos on the card then it ejects successfully.
