Hi, usually I import all my scanned images. Well not this time… I was not yet finished with adding metadata (EXIF) while already wanting to do sth. with the files.

Unfortunately sth. was wrong with the filenames, which I fixed, but now Aperture shows a little caution-mark. I ultimately want to import the images into my library. What would be best procedure?

Thanks R.

Rolf,

Changing the name of the referenced Original in the Finder will usually cause Aperture to lose the connection. The yellow triangle means it doesn’t know where the file is anymore. You can use the Locate Originals command to point to the right file, and if Aperture doesn’t want to recognize it, you can hold down the option key and usually then the “reconnect” button will light up.

If that doesn’t make sense let me know and I can elaborate, or search “locate originals” or “locate masters” on this site and you’ll probably find instructions.
