Hi All,

First post here. Nice to see an active community and site regarding Aperture!

I have a problem with my Library, which I can't get solved, even after I have tried a number of options.

Here is the setup:
I have a library I use with Aperture and iPhoto. It is stored on my NAS (synology) in a sparsebundle journaled disk. I'm on a ethernet connection, using an iMac (late 2012) and have the latest Aperture running.

Here is the problem:
There is something wrong with the library. I have stored about 15.000 pictures in it. Once in a while, my AFP connection with the NAS is lost (need to fix that) while having the library open. Next time I run Aperture, it gives me the notice the library needs to be repaired. Here is where it goes wrong: after repairing (or rebuilding) the library.. it always finds an extra 100 to 600 pictures. But the masters of the pictures are missing (they get the yellow triangle). I can delete them, empty the trash, restart Aperture.. and they are still gone. But if I do a manual repair (using option+control).. they are back! It seems like the images aren't actually deleted when I trash them.

What did I try:
I have repaired, rebuild and restored permissions (using option+control). None of this works. Yesterday (and night) I have tried the option I read about on this website: creating a new library and import the existing library in it. After importing, the photos with yellow triangle were back!

I wonder: is there a way to manually delete these missing photo's from the library (and database?). I would like to have the library/database as clean as possible :)

thanks for any advice!
