How to reconnect master files in recovered folder to Aperture

Aperture 3 crashed and somehow it spit out all its master files and dumped them in a directory called 'Pictures Recovered Photos'. All files in Aperture show the 'Master Not Found' badge (arrow with yellow exclamation point triangle). How do I tell Aperture that the master file it's looking for sits in the 'Pictures Recovered Photos' folder?
I tried the 'Locate Referenced Files' command but that obviously doesn't work because the pictures are not referenced. The master files were imported before something went wrong.
To make matters worse, the 'Pictures Recovered Photos' folder contains about 56k files, while I only have about 13k masters. Upon further inspection, I noticed that most masters had several copies of themselves:
e.g. here are all the files matching picture DSC00131 in the 'Pictures Recovered Photos' folder:
DSC00131.JPG
DSC00131.JPG.jpg
DSC00131.JPG_2.jpg
thumb_DSC00131.JPG.jpg
thumb_DSC00131.JPG_2.jpg
thumb_DSC00131.JPG_face0.jpg
thumb_DSC00131.JPG_face0_2.jpg
thumb_DSC00131.JPG_face1.jpg
thumb_DSC00131.JPG_face1_2.jpg
thumb_DSC00131.JPG_face2.jpg
thumb_DSC00131.JPG_face2_2.jpg
Any suggestions on how to get out of this mess?

First wanted to see if someone had seen this situation before
The subject of Aperture completely aside, it is not uncommon for files to sprout in unexpected places when there are disk problems. If you have not already done so you should use Disk Utility to Verify the disk(s) where your masters and Aperture app and library reside before you attempt to do anything else. While you are in Disk Utility check the S.M.A.R.T status as well. If you try to fix things within Aperture you could make things worse if your disks aren't in tip-top shape.
I'm new to Aperture so I will leave advice on how to relocate your masters to experienced users.

  • How can I sort files in a folder by name?

    How can I sort files in a folder by name? iFS first sort files that starts with upper-case letter and then files with lower-case letter.
    Like:
    A_file
    B_file
    a_file
    b_file
    I want:
    A-file
    a_file
    B_file
    b_file
    This doesn't help:
    String[] sort_attributes = {"NAME"};
    boolean [] sort_orders = {true};
    SortSpecification sort = new SortSpecification(sort_attributes, sort_orders);
    currentFolder.setSortSpecification(sort);
    Do I have to get all items in a folder and then sort them?
    /Elin

    I do not think there is a way to do that without add-ons
    There are a couple of workarounds I am aware of
    * Add the bookmarks manually in the bookmarks library and choose the position. That is using Show all bookmarks -> open required folder -> select a position and right click -> add new bookmark <br />Rather a slow and clumsy process
    * Sort a folder and copy it. If you sort the folder contents then copy and paste them they remain in that order when pasted.
    There are add-ons but I have not tried them. For example
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/simplesort-bookmarks/
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/auto-sort-bookmarks/
    There will be others available and take note of the advice to backup bookmarks manaully.

    Just drag the file from the Download folder to the folder of your choice in Finder. If you are using Safari you can designate a new default download destination in Safari>Preferences>General tab, 'Save Downloads to...'. Other browsers should have a similar option in their preferences.

    Put the files you want on the first page into the folder, and then use subfolders for the subsequent pages. If the process you saw involved Launchpad on a newer OS, it can’t be done on 10.6.8.

  • Add all files of one folder to aperture by running a script

    HI,
    i have a question:
    I will make my Aperture Tethered more easy (with my Canon eos 30D) i have coded a script / folder action to do this but: this folder action does not import all pictures (wy ever, i think that the files coming in to fast were not recognized).
    Now i will code a script which will include all files of a folder to aperture when it is run.
    i will give it a try, and the import does function, but, i don't know how i can tell the script which files it should import (with a folder action its easy, with this line:
    on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving these_items
    but how to do this without the "on adding folder items" cause that does not happen in the case i will use it.
    i'm looking forward to anthers:D
    Best Regards
    Christoph

    yes i tryed this application, and there was the same problem as with my one (i have programmed my based on this application)
    but both had the same problem they open on imageadd, but if i take more images in seconds (i think the script is still running => it can't recognize new images) it does not recognize the newly taken images.
    and i hope some script that imports all images in the folder will solve the problem.
    the more ore less only problem is to tell the application which images to import (like: on run import ALL files)

  • How to reconnect missing file from iCloud on PSE 12?

    I placed all my photos in the iCloud and also copied them to a flash drive and removed them from the hard drive. Now Organizer asks to reconnect missing files. The drop down menu in Browse does not list the Cloud as an option. How do i reconnect from the Cloud?
    Thanks, Barb
    I am using a MacBook Pro with Yosemite

    You will need to keep the flash drive connected. PSE will contain links to it and the images.
    Otherwise you would need to copy the files to a folder in Pictures on your internal drive or an external hard drive.

  • How to copy a file from one folder to another folder in Linux

    Hello everyone,
    Oracle forms 11g 11.1.2.0.0
    OS: Oracle Linux
    We use webutil to upload files to the application server from the client machine, and stores them in a folder named JOB_DOCS on the application server (This folder is created as a databse directory too). File types are JPEG, GIF, PDF, TXT, BMP, DOC, XLS etc...
    At a later stage when the user tries to view the uploaded documents, this was not getting displayed on the screen
    on our windows server, when the user clicks on the print button we copy the file from the JOB_DOCS folder to the forms\java folder using the below command
    HOST('COPY ' ||d:\JOB_DOCS\test.pdf||' '||'c:\oracle\middleware\as\forms\java\test.pdf ,NO_SCREEN);
    once the file is under the forms\java folder then it is getting displayed on the screen to print or save, and later we remove the file from forms\java folder.
    But my problem here is, recently we have installed our application on Oracle Linux server, and we have JOB_DOCS folder there, and the users can upload files to this folder also. How can we copy the file test.pdf from JOB_DOCS to forms/java in linux?
    And what could be the reson for the document cannot be accessed from the folder where it is saved? We tried giving folder permissions, adding the folder to PATH variable etc.

    For copying and moving directories you can use the cp and mv commands just like you use them with files. Yeah, I know. If you've already tried to copy a directory with cp, you've probably noticed that cp just complains at you. Probably it says something like cp: omitting directory yadda yadda. You see, the cp command wants you to use the -r option if you want to copy a directory with its contents. The -r means "copy recursively":
    $ cp -r dir1 dir2
    The above creates a directory named dir2 whose contents will be identical to dir1. However, if dir2 already exists, nothing will be overwritten: the directory dir1 will be copied into the dir2 directory under the name dir2/dir1.
    When renaming directories, you use the mv command exactly the same way as with files:
    $ mv dir1 dir2
    When dealing with directories, mv works a bit like cp does. If dir2 doesn't exist, the above will rename dir1 to dir2, but if dir2 exists, the directory dir1 will be moved into the dir2 directory under the name dir2/dir1.

  • How to Read all files inside resource Folder inside Jar?

    I have a Jar file,,,, The program reads for resource files in the resource folder inside the Jar. I want my program to read all files inside this folder without knowing the names or the number of files in the folder.
    I am using this to make an Applet easy to be updated with spicific files. I just want to add a file inside the resource folder and Jar the program and automatically the program reads what ever is in there!!
    I used the File class to get all file names inside the resource folder. it works fine before Jarring the program. After I jar I recieve a URI not Herarichy Exception!!
    File fold=new java.io.File(getClass().getResource(folder).toURI());
    String[] files=fold.list();
    I hope the question is clear!!

    How to get the directory and jar file that you class resides in:
    // returns path and jarfile (ex: /home/mydir/my.jar)
    public String getJarfileName()
            // Get the location of the jar file and the jar file name
            java.net.URL outputURL = YourClass.class.getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation();
            String outputString = outputURL.toString();
            String[] parseString;
            int index1 = outputString.indexOf(":");
            int index2 = outputString.lastIndexOf(":");
            if (index1!=index2) // Windows/DOS uses C: naming convention
               parseString = outputString.split("file:/");
            else
               parseString = outputString.split("file:");
            String jarFilename = parseString[1];
           return jarFilename;
    }If your my.jar was in /home/mydir, it will store "/home/mydir/my.jar" in jarFilename.
    note: getLocation returns "file:/C:/home/mydir/my.jar" for Windows/DOS and "file:/home/mydir/my.jar" for windows, thus why I look for the first and last index of the colon so I can correctly split the string.
    If you want to grab a file in the jar file and get an InputStream, do the following:
    import java.io.*;
    import java.util.Enumeration;
    // jar stuff
    import java.util.jar.*;
    import java.util.zip.ZipEntry;
    public class Jaris
       private JarFile jf;
       public Jaris(String jarFilename) throws Exception
           try
                           jf = new JarFile(jarFilename);
           catch (Exception e)
                jf=null;
                throw(e);
       public InputStream getInputStream(String matchString) throws Exception
           ZipEntry ze=null;
           try
              Enumeration resources = jf.entries();
              while ( resources.hasMoreElements() )
                 JarEntry je = (JarEntry) resources.nextElement();
                 // find a file that matches this string from anywhere in my jar file
                 if ( je.getName().matches(".*\\"+matchString) )
                    String filename=je.getName();
                    ze=jf.getEntry(filename);
          catch (Exception e)
             throw(e);
          InputStream is = jf.getInputStream(ze);
          return is;
       // for testing the Jaris methods
       public static void main(String[] args)
          try
               String jarFilename=getJarfileName();
               Jaris jis = new Jaris(jarFilename); // this is the string we got from the other method listed above
               InputStream is=jis.getInputStream("myfile.txt"); // can be used for xml, xsl, etc
          catch (Exception e)
             // this is just a test, so we'll ignore the exception

  • 10.6.4:  how to unlock all files in a folder

    hi,
    how do you unlock all files inside a folder?
    thank you..

    thank you.. (I wonder why you can't just do it by getting info on the folder, then saying, unlock all files inside.. (u can do like that in windows) this is always more practical than having to select all files (and accidentally opening them, or something...-) in windows you can select a folder and then say, (un)lock all files and and dirs -- and subdirs and files inside -- inside this folder.. can u do something like this in mac os? if not, that's not very good.. (I guess on the mac would need to find unix commands for doing something like this..)
    they really need to consider this for future versions, this is a no-brainer...;-)
    thank you..

    Hi Amit,
    you can not move specific changes from Dev to production.
    but you can follow this process to make your workflow as it is as in Dev:
    Create a new workflow on the new list in Product.
    Create at least one step, one condition and one action in this workflow.
    1. In Dev server open your .xomal file as XML and copy the entire contents.
    2.In Production server Open your .xoml file as XML and Paste the entire contents
    3. repeat this operation for the xoml.rules file
    4.Double click the .xoml file for the new workflow to open the workflow in the Workflow Designer and click Check Workflow to verify no errors and then click Finish to ensure the workflow is saved.
    Whenever you need to make changes apply the same.
    Please Mark Answer and Vote me if it will to resolve your issue

    Hi,
    Are you using Jdeveloper on a windows machine? If you are then this might be a useful tip.
    Click Tools -> External Tools. It will prompt you to setup common tools. Let it do this. Now when you right click on your project you will get an Explore Directory option. I use this a lot when copying XSD’s between projects.
    Once you have done this you need to click the refresh button in the Application Navigator to ensure the new files appear.
