With good software there can never be a user error
I explained in my first post what I want.
But in short
I use an external drive setup with 4x1TB drives.
On those drives the files are stored in folders with correct names/keywords etc.
Importing those is no problem.
HOWEVER.
When I add new shoots I want to first get them in a temp directory.
Now rename, keytag, rate etc. them.
After that MOVE them to the new location, on one of the drives in the folder I want.
Aperture does this it seems but when you go to the location on the harddrive itself the originals are not there.
You can achieve this by using the relocate masters option, however after that you can't remove the files from your temp folder on the HDD otherwise the referenced files will not work.
Don't get me wrong I LOVE aperture.
But the only problem with it is that it won't let you rename and keytag the ORIGINAL files, if it would allow that it would be a killer app.
It's not a user fault because LR can do it, and any other software package I've used.
When you use ONLY aperture it's ok to have the database reference only however what if Aperture stops, or what if you loose your database, or if you need to access the files from another system that doesn't use aperture (my drives are portible).
That's why I need the original files also renamed, that's not an user error, that's a serious limitation of the program in my optic.
