Reconnecting 7500 masters #1

Hi,

after a night full of recovering pictures from my broken external hard drive full of referenced pictures (100% pictures were recovered yey!) I would like to reconnect all the masters to my Aperture 3 library.

The thing is, that the partition on my external HD where all my masters were was named “ByMook” and the pictures were in the folder called Aperture/YEAR/MONTH/DAY/ now, I connected a new HD named the partition again ByMook not to confuse Aperture but no luck.

The problem is that the File>Locale referenced files… does not help, because it works only on currently selected files, which would take days to do manually.

Here are 2 screenshots of how my Aperture is organized if that might be any help to you brainstorming a solution :)

Thank you for your time and help.
