Issues when more than 100K images in library

Hi,
I've recently spent a lot of time importing several years worth of images into my Aperture Library. At the moment the library stands at approx 104K images. The images are arranged by date into projects - each project having *less than 10K images*. An example of the structure is:
.Library (Built in smart albums).
.Client Disks (Folder)
.RAW Library (folder)
.-2004 (year)(folder)
.--01 Jan 2004 (Month)(folder)
.---29 Jan 2004 (Day)(project)
.---30 Jan 2004 (Day)(project)
.--02 Feb 2004 (month)(folder)
.-2007 (year)(folder)
.--01 Jan 2007 (month)(folder)
.---27 Jan 2007 (day)(project)
etc
The problem lies with Smart albums or doing any searching across the whole library
Smart albums work fine when they're created at the year or month scope within a folder (eg '.Raw Library.2007' or '.Raw Library.2007.01 Jan 2007'), but fail when they are created at the top container scope of '.Raw Library' or at the default aperture 'library' level.
When the smart albums fail, the message that is given is 'Too many images to display. Please create a smart album to show images in the browser'. This occurs even when the selection made should only amount to 100-200 images. Smart Galleries which also worked quite happily across the scope of the library before there where more than 100K images have also stopped working.
This actually makes Aperture pretty useless as an image library management tool as I would have to create multiple smart galleries in each year to find results across the library and that sort of defeats the purpose of managing the images in Aperture
FWIW, The Machine specs are: MacPro 3Ghz, 2Gb Ram, OS-X 10.4.9, Aperture V1.5.3, Software Update fully-up-to-date and the images are all referenced, not managed.
I'd be interested if anyone else has come up against this issue!

Glad I'm not the only one who has the problem.
After a bit more playing it seems that the default smart albums do work, at least the 5*, * or better, Rejected and last week, last month work - the yearly ones don't. If you create a smart album and use the star ratings it works. But the moment you add another criteria in - such as a keyword - then it stops working again. If one filter can work with a global scope, then why shouldn't one that's got a keyword added...

  • Outlook 2013 Rules issue when more than 50 rules exist ("The rules on this computer do not match the rules on Microsoft Exchange").

    I think I may have found a bug.
    My Outlook 2013 profile has more than 75 rules. When I started testing Outlook 2013, I got the message "The rules on this computer do not match the rules on Microsoft Exchange. Only one set of rules can be kept. You will usually want to keep the rules
    on the server. Which rules do you want to keep?"
    I did the following troubleshooting:
    1. I created a new Outlook profile. This didn't fix the issue.
    2. I exported my rules, cleared them using "outlook /cleanrules", then reimported the rules. This didn't fix the issue.
    3. I cleared the rules again (outlook /cleanrules), then hand-entered the rules. This also didn't fix the issue.
    4. I reduced the number of rules to less than 50. This FIXED the problem.
    5. When I entered rule #51, the problem came back. When I removed ruled #51, the problem was again fixed.
    Does anyone know of a fix or workaround to this issue?
    Thanks.

    Sounds like you went over your "rule quota limit" as you do have a great number of rules.  Please see the link below for cause and possible resolution.

  • HT1473 How may one add cover art in iTunes 11, for a CD imported to the library? How may one add more than one images?

    How may one add cover art in iTunes 11, for a CD imported to the library?
    How may one add more than one images?

    I understand what you mean - I too, would like to see some variability in the 'default'. Besides having a single default, I would step that up to a default that changes with genre and media: ie. I could see using a sax for Jazz; a microphone for a Podcast, etc.
    I don't have the answer to your question yet, but I think I'm going to crack open the iTunes package to see what default images there are embedded in there.

  • I have a 16GB san disc that when more than half full and trying to download to my Mac gives a "communication error" message.  How can I seamlessly upgrade the computers software to handle SDHC cards of this size?

    I have a 16GB San Disc that when more than half full and trying to transfer the images to the iPhoto library I get the message "communication error".  How can I update my computers software to be SDHC compatable?  I can buy a card reader but thought an update to the software would fix this problem.
    Thank you for any solutions or advice.

    I am not familiar with Flickr, but found their support page at <Flickr Support>. You may get better help there than here.  I get the impression that the App is somewhat buggy.
    The iTunes preview page indicates the App is for iPad as well as the iPhone.  <Flickr App Preview>

    Is there a max number of properties in $select statement
    I think may be it is oracle provider's problem ,but i don't konw how to debug it Can anyone help me
    Any help is greatly appreciated

    I believe the null/empty string issue is unrelated to the 8 column issue, at least for ODP.NET. For example, let's take the original query in the OBE:
    http://.../yoursvcfile.svc/EMPLOYEES?$select=EMPLOYEE_ID,FIRST_NAME,LAST_NAME,SALARY,DEPARTMENT_ID,DEPARTMENT,EMAIL,PHONE_NUMBER,MANAGER_ID
    Let's make all the columns selected not nullable. You can do this with the Oracle Dev Tools. Specifically, PHONE_NUMBER and FIRST_NAME are the only nullable fields. I make them non-nullable and re-run the query and the same error occurs. Thus, these values should never be made null. Moreover, in all 107 rows, none of these row values consist of empty strings anyway.
    Looking into the problem further, WCF DS is calling methods in the System.Data.Services.Internal namespace.
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.services.internal.aspx
    Specifically, we see your issue when the ProjectedWrapperMany method is called. You will notice that there is ProjectedWrapper0, ProjectedWrapper1...ProjectedWrapper8 methods also present in the same namespace. As soon as the number of columns exceeds 8, ProjectedWrapperMany is called and we see the error. We're going to ask MS to help analyze the issue since this is an .NET-internal method being called.

  • Error - Can't open more than one image in CS3

    My Photoshop CS3 was working fine until all of a sudden it no longer lets me open more than one image at a time without crashing. Anyone else have this problem? How do I fix it?

    Hi,
    There may be two issues you have to check:
    1) The " scratch disk" feature in photoshop(usually gets full). Go to preferences - performance. Also check how much RAM PS is using.
    2) Printer Communication: sometimes Photoshop is unable to communicate with the default printer(may be unstable drivers, out of date etc). Network computers also make some issues

  • Lightroom won't export more than one image at the time

    I am having trouble exporting my RAW files as JPEG files. At first Lightroom 4.4 seemed to skip certain photos when exporting and now I'm unable to export more than one image at the time. How can I fix this? I didn't seem to have this problem before the 4.4 update, but then again, the 4.4 update has been running for a few days now. I run on a 32bit Windows 7 with 4GB of RAM.
    Lightroom has also been a considerable lot slower since the last couple of days, yet there have been no changes at all to my computer or system or anything - nothing's changed expect for the fact that Lightroom isn't behaving as it used to.
    Can anyone help me?

    I think I've found the problem - I've accidentally 'synced' my folder instead of importing the RAW files. Which brings me to my next problem and question - I've already edited the RAW files and would really like it if there's a way I could re-import the files without losing my changes/metadata, is there anyway that's possible?

  • Is it possible to datamerge more than one image per page?

    I am building a product catalogue using datamerge.  Is it possible to data merge more than one image per page? (ie I have a logo, product image and dimensioned drawing to go with each product page)
    What would the coding be for the Data Field Name?
    Would it be
    @Logo
    @Product Image
    @Dimension Drawing
    Add image fields in the data source file
    By adding image fields to the data source file, you can allow a different image to appear on each merged record. For example, when you merge documents that include information from various companies, you may want to include an image of each company’s logo as part of the merge.
    Open the data source file.
    At the beginning of the data field name, type an “at” symbol (@) to insert text or paths that refer to image files.The @ symbol is required only in the first line; subsequent lines should include the image paths. Paths, which are case-sensitive, must follow the naming conventions of the operating system in which they’re stored.
    If you get an error message when you type the @ symbol at the beginning of the field, type an apostrophe (') before the @ symbol (such as '@Photos) to validate the function. Some applications, such as Microsoft Excel, reserve the @ symbol for functions.

    You can use InDesign to view the path of an image on your operating system. Insert an image in an InDesign document, and then use the Links panel to view the image’s location. With the image selected, choose Copy Info > Copy Full Path from the Links panel menu. You may need to edit the path after you paste it in your data source. This technique is especially useful for images on a server.

    Yes, pretty much exactly as you describe. You would then just add those fields to the boxes in your page. I tend to add an apostrophe before the @ symbol in Excel so it doesn't think it's a function - as per text you quoted above.
    If you get an error message when you type the @ symbol at the beginning of the field, type an apostrophe (') before the @ symbol (such as '@Photos) to validate the function. Some applications, such as Microsoft Excel, reserve the @ symbol for functions.

  • How can I use bridge to create web galleries with more than 10 images?

    I am new to building web galleris for my website. When i try to load more than 10 images in a gallery , Bridge cuts off all images beyond 10. I am confident that I can do this if i can find the right settings

    I am not at my PS computer right now, but I think the Preview only shows 10 images (for speed) but they will all be there in the final output.

  • Adobe Web Gallery- can't get more than 10 images to show up

    I am trying to create a Web Gallery from within Bridge (CS4), but I'm not having any luck getting more than 10 images to show up when I create the Gallery, even though I'm selecting nearly 50 images (all in the same folder) that I'd like to be in the Gallery. Does anyone know if there's a limit to the number of images that can be used in an AWG? I can't seem to find ANY documentation that sheds light on that subject. All I know is that no matter WHAT I do, I can only get Bridge to create a Gallery with TEN images!! Very frustrating. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Assuming the obvious that in Bridge content panel you have selected all the
    files you want in the web galery
    First try a purge cache for folder using the menu Tools/purge cache for
    folder when having Bridge pointed to the problem folder.
    Second try a reset preferences with option key while restarting Bridge.
    I wish that were the case - it's only outputing up 10 images...

  • Apple Preview application, view more than 15 images separately?

    Is it possible to view more than 15 images with out them being combined into one window with them combined? So all images show up separate even when you open more than 15 images??
    The only option is 'Open each file in its own window' which doesn't work for them all when you have over 15 images.

    I am having the same problem on my PC. I have copied music files from the mac that is on my network and I have also imported some music from a DVD that was burned. I cannot tell which music isn't playing, but when I click on some of them, an exclamation point comes up and a message flashes on that says that ITunes cannot find the file. It is located in My Music so I don't know why this is happenning. Please help. I am very frustrated with ITunes for Windows...there is no problem with my fiance's Mac, but on my computer this is happenning weekly (I usually erase the files and re-transfer the files and that lasts about a week or so).
