Importation as referenced in Folder with name of the project impossible?

Hello,

I am currently importing my photos as referenced in Aperture and want to automatically create the folder with the same name as my project, but it always create a folder named "test". I can't find where is my mistake? I think I already have already succeeded in doing that in the past.

2 screen copies (unfortunately in French) to help you understand better:

During importation I also do a copy (Save) and it also create the same "test" folder.

Thanks in advance for your help

Aperture 3, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)

I tried to reproduce the problem, and for me it is working well. What is your Aperture version? I tried in version 3.4.5.

Have you tried to import into a new project for a change? Perhaps that can reset the "test" name, if you directly enter a project name.

If that does not help, I'd try to repair your Aperture Library and to remove the Aperture preferences, see this support document:

I have already tried as in you screen copy. I start firstly this way and should have shown that screen copy instead of mine 😕. I have retried with a store file on a Nas and on the HDD, But result is still the same.

If I create a personalized folder instead of using Project Name, it works correctly.

I have repaired the permission and there is still no improvement.

Next step is to repair the database and remove the preferences. I will inform you later about the result.

What device are you importing from?

Ad what is the version of Aperture. The screen shot you posted does not match Léonie's or is it what I see when I import.

It is finally working after doind the following "Move the user created presets, keyword lists, and so on..." from Trouble shouting mentionned by Leonie.

I previously did the first 2 steps of repair as below:

and also "Delete the user preferences" from Trouble shouting but without success..

As answer to Frank: I imported from a SD card in a card reader and from the HDD

To: HDD or a NAS.

but all possibilities had same result.

My import configuration was as below (similar to Leonie's screenshot):

Thank you to both of you.
