Preventing duplicates in Aperture?

I'm using the Import function (not dragging from the Finder) JPG photos and I have the box checked "do not import duplicates" - yet when I import files into the same project I'm getting duplicates and they are the exact same file name.  Is there some other setting I need to have checked or this a bug - does anyone know?  It is definitely creating a lot of manual work to try and get rid of the duplicates once I've completed the import.  Thanks for any help anyone can provide. 

If you import from the same card into the same project, then it shouldn't duplicate. That said, this functionality is imperfect.
The best way to prevent duplicates is to not continually import the same files. When you import, you have the ability to choose what files you import; you should only select new files.

  • How to prevent duplicates in your contacts

    When syncing two iphones via icloud with your computer how do I prevent duplicate contacts between both phones, icloud and yahoo?

    I have 11 people designated under faces.
    Do you see the 11 People when using the "Faces" view from the source list in the Library Inspector or from the "Faces" button in the toolbar?
    If you are using the Faces button from the toolbar, you may have been excluding faces stacks you already created. Then, when you enter search strings, Aperture will suggest names from your contacts and you may create the same stack again.
    Also, if the search field is not empty, you may already have more "Faces" stacks than you are actually seeing.
    As you certainly know, you can always unite "Faces" stacks by dragging a stack onto the other to merge them. The merged stack will use the name of the stack you dragged to.

  • Easiest way to identify/delete/prevent duplicate documents

    I don't suppose that the text column (e.g. CLOB) is something that I can use the usual trick to delete duplicates with, is it? I would think rather than compare the actual text column, I'd need to calculate a checksum or something for each document and then delete rows with duplicate checksums. Or is there a better way? I'm trying to prevent, for example, a news article getting inserted 10 times because it's a UPI story that was carried by 10 different sites.
    Thanks.

    Your idea of a checksum is a good one. But I'd compute the checksum, and make it a unique constraint, which would PREVENT duplicates from being inserted. It's usually better to prevent them than to clean them up later.

  • How to Prevent duplicates on Combination of Lookup columns in sharepoint 2010 using infopath 2010 form.

    Hi All,
    I have list with some Lookup columns like  City, Pin, and Text Column Name. All these are required columns.
    Now I want to prevent duplicates while submitting InfoPath form if a Combination of  City,Pin & Name. (like a Composite primary in Database is used.)
    Can some one help me on how to achieve this using InfoPath  2010 Rules, writing  rule in Xpath.
    Thanks in Advance.

    1. Add a secondary data connection to the list where the form will be submitted.
    2. Prior to submit via rules, set the query fields in the above connection: City, Pin & Name with values entered in the form. Query the data source and check if the result has values.
    3. Show error messages accordingly if exists else continue with Submit.

  • Need advice on preventing duplicate entries in People table

    Hi,
    In my database, I have a "People" table where I store basic information about people e.g. PersonId, FirstName, LastName, Gender, etc.
    There will be lots of entries made into this table and I want to prevent duplicate entries as much as humanly possible. I'd appreciate some pointers on what I should do to minimize duplicates.
    My primary concerns are:
    Duplicate entries for the same person using the person's full name vs. given name e.g. Mike Smith and Michael Smith
    Making sure that two separate individuals with identical names do get entered into the table and get their unique PersonId's.
    Not even sure how I can even possibly know if two individuals with identical names are two different people without having additional information but I wanted to ask the question anyway.
    Thanks, Sam

    Thank you all very much for your responses.
    There are three separate issues/points here.
    It is clear that it is impossible to prevent duplicates using only a person's first, middle and last names. Once I rely on an additional piece of information, then things get "easier" though nothing is bullet proof. I felt that this was self evident but
    wanted to ask the question anyway.
    Second issue is "potential" duplicates where there are some variations in the name e.g. Mike vs Michael. I'd like a bit more advice on this. I assume I need to create a table to define variations of a name to catch potential duplicates.
    The third point is what Celko brought up -- rather nicely too :-) I understand both his and Erland's points on this as typical relational DB designs usually create people/user tables based upon their context e.g. Employees, Customers, etc.
    I fundamentally disagree with this approach -- though it is currently the norm in most commercial DB designs. The reason for that is that it actually creates duplicates and my point is to prevent them. I'm going for more of an object based approach in the DB
    design where a person is a person regardless of the different roles he/she may play and I see no reason in repeating some of the information about the person e.g. repeating first, last name, gender, etc in both customer and employee tables.
    I strongly believe that all the information that are directly related to a person should be kept in the People table and referenced in different business contexts as necessary.
    For example, I assign every person a PersonId in the People table. I then use the PersonId as part of the primary key in the Customers or Employees table as well. Obviously, PersonId is also a foreign key in Customers and Employees tables. This prevents the
    need for a separate CustomerId and allows me to centralize all the personal data in the People table.
    In my opinion this has three advantages:
    Prevent duplication of data
    Allow global edits e.g. if the last name of a female employee changes, it is automatically updated for her within the context of "Customer" role she may play in the application.
    Last but not least, data enrichment where a person may enter additional data about himself/herself in different contexts. For example, in the employee context, we may have the person's spouse information through "Emergency Contacts" which may come handy
    within the context of customer for this person.
    Having everyone in the People table gives me these three advantages.
    Thanks, Sam

    Is there a way to prevent duplicaton?
    I read in other post that there was an option in Admin'-System Initialisation-Document settings......to block duplication, but that does not show on my screen.
    Do you have any ideas or suggestions?
    Thank you

    Hello Gordon,
    Thanks for the link but I had already read those posts.
    I understand there is a way to prevent duplicate to enter vendor reference numbers.
    However, my question would be if the version that I am using would have the option to block release when When duplicated Vendor Reference No occurs as I cannot find it.
    Please advise,

  • Preventing duplicate post

    Does anyone have a suggestion regarding how to prevent duplicate posts with JSF?
    As an example, I have one form that allows users to carry out CRUD operations on the data that is being displayed. All successfully processed requests result in a post back to this same page.
    I really want to avoid the problems that could occur if a delete or new request gets reposted by an impatient user.
    Any suggestions are welcome. I should also note that for scalability reasons, I prefer to avoid solutions which require storing token, etc. in the session. I will settle for such a strategy in the absence of a better solution.

    Thanks to all who responded. Just a couple follow-up questions and comments.
    1. Can not use Shale. I'm in a heavily restricted corporate environment that limits me to IBM's (poor) implementation of JSF 1.0.
    2. Would rather not address the problem soley through the use of JavaScript because users can always disable JavaScript.
    3. Redirecting back to the page instead of forwarding back is not practical for three reasons. One, it will require my backing bean to make calls down into my application to retrieve data that would already have been readily available if I were forwarding, and I'm not comfortable with that performance decrease. Two, redirecting back to the form makes displaying of validation errors difficult. Three, redirecting to the page would successfully handle the circumstance where a user hits refresh, but doesn't handle the case of an impatient user who clicks the submit button twice while waiting for a response.
    If anyone can propose a solution that works within these constraints, let me know.
    Thanks again for those who are contributing.

  • How to prevent duplicate submission?

    Hello!
    I have a page for gathering some data:
    private function saveHander():void {
        // Gathering data into database.
    <mx:TextInput id="name" />
    <mx:TextInput id="age" />
    <s:Button id="Submit" label="Submit" click="saveHandler();" />
    When focus on submit button,I click at the button and press the space bar at the same time,saveHander function execute two times.
    How can I prevent duplicate submission? thanks!

    Assuming this is a form you are attempting to save, good UX practice is to disable the form once you begin local form validation (submit button clicked) prior to forming your data packet for save.
    Doing so will prevent the anomaly you are experiencing.
    In other cases where the above practice is not practical, you can setFocus to another component (off the submit button) because as long as the focus remains on the button, depressing the space bar will trigger the mouse event for the button. Research ADA compliance if you want more details.
