I find this very irritating and worrying as I never delete the contents of my memory cards, keeping them as permanent backups.
I am concerned that some day I might accidentally allow Aperture to trash them.
OS X Yosemite (10.10.1), Mac mini i5 2.5GHz & iMac FCP X
If you accidentally click on the delete camera images Aperture import window, you still have another confirm tab to click as a safety against losing the images on your card(s).

Thanks . . . I suspected a much but didn't want to risk it.
I take it from your reply that there is no way to stop the message other than by using something else like Image Capture to import from the camera?
SD memory cards have a lock switch on them. You can make them read-only before connecting to your Mac. Then even if you accidentally say yes, they can't be deleted. It will still ask you though.
Thanks Ken, I was aware of that, but having to remember to lock the card before importing would be even more of a nuisance.
In any case I frequently just plug the camera into the computer, which would make card-locking impossible.
My current workflow is that I shoot a handful of photos and then import them on a daily or even hourly basis.
So you can get some idea of how irritating it is to have this unnecessary pop-up.
I will send feedback requesting a turn-off switch in the preferences . . . though it will probably never happen.
That was stupid of me . . . . I sent Apple feedback and several hours later remembered that the darn app has been discontinued!
Any way of stopping Aperture offering to delete imported items in camera/SD card?
