Import rename index not working

Question

I recently purchased a Nikon D3100, my first camera to shoot in RAW.
Being a basic photographer, I wanted to use both jpeg+raw until I am more familiar with Raw.
I started out importing jpeg+raw pairs with jpg as master into Aperture until I discovered that you can't delete the raw files from the pairs at a later time for images that are just ok to save space.
I used the rename feature during import to rename the photos to
imagedate_eventname_index
This worked fine.
I switched to import both jpeg and raw as seperate masters using the same naming convention.
Now the index does not append to the end of the name. Just date and event name.
Is anyone else seeing this issue?
Is there a work around?

Brett

Answer 1

Sorry, didn't see the question at the end.
I am using Aperture 3.2.3
I am using Lion 10.7.3
Were you able to make any progress?
The issue still happens if I only import JPGs on cards with both JPG and RAW images.
Cards with only JPGs works fine.
My situation is I have a new camera that takes jpg+raw.
I have taken a lot of pictures and want to import them into Aperture as pairs.
That worked fine with renaming, but I only want to keep the RAW for certain photos (maybe 10%) and Aperture will not let me remove the RAW images that are paired.
So I read where you can import seperate jpg and raw and use the stacks 2 seconds feature to keep the jpg and raw together. Now I can delete the RAW for the not so good photos.
However, this rename issue is now causing a glitch in my process.
If Aperture would let me break a JPG+RAW pair to remove the RAW or JPG, then this would not be an issue.
Maybe I should better describe what my end goal is (assuming Apple does not add the remove one image from a pair feature).
Goal:
SD Card with JPG and RAW images
Import both JPG and RAW with the same name and each pair with a different numbered suffix
ie
2011-12-01_OfficeParty1.jpg
2011-12-01_OfficeParty1.nef
2011-12-01_OfficeParty2.jpg
2011-12-01_OfficeParty2.nef
Use auto stack to stack images with 2 seconds setting to stack the jpg and RAW images together.
(If I take multiple pictures within 2 seconds, the stack will have more than 1 image pair but that doesn't happen often and easy to seperate)
Now I can go through and remove the RAW images on the photos that I will never need them.
Ultimately, I would like the JPG and RAW to have the same filename, except the extension, to keep them identified as pairs.
I will probably go back to using image capture and exifrenamer to achieve the naming I want before importing the photos into Aperture.
