aperture thumbnail generation forever
Hello
I like to have all my pictures in one place to share them with apple tv, so I decided to give aperture a try.
I imported all images (about 36000 from 12 years) into one aperture library.
Before importing I switched off face detection and preview generation.
After finishing I had a 236 GB library, but aperture starts to generate some thumbnails.
Problem is, it freezes on generating them.
I used the activity window to hunt down what is happeing and found out that it stops when it comes to a specific picture.
So I managed to
1) start aperture
2) open activity window
3) stop the thumbnail generation when it starts
4) delete the picture where the aperture have problems
This way I managed to get from about 5700 thumbanisl to do to a number of 3500 thumbnails to do, but aperture keeps freezing at a single pic (the bad one)
But now, aperture starts thumbnail generation so quickly that I cannot open activity window and stop the progress before it reaches the bad one.
@Apple: could we have an option like "safe start" that won't schedule any processes for thumbnails before the user wants it?
So, any ideas out there? I tried everything I found like repairing, rebuilding, no help.
Is there any kind of log to look into? I am a newbie in mac os and aperture.
