Quit aperture without file save?

Is there any way to quit Aperture without saving changes made during session?

No the changes to the library are made real time not stored up and applied when the program closes.
Is there something specific you are looking to be able to do (or undo)?

Twice Today Photoshop CS5 Just Quit During a File - Save As

I've been doing a lot of raw image processing today with Photoshop 12.0.4 64 bit.
On two occasions, after having opened an image through Camera Raw, working on it in Photoshop proper, then attempting a File - Save As so as to save the PSD, Photoshop just quit. Disappeared. No error, no warning, no nothing, not even in the Windows Event Logs. Kind of a PIA when you're finally happy with an image and it dies when you try to save it. I know I'm not the first to report this; I recall discussing exactly this issue with someone else a few months back.
I narrowed it down to EXACTLY what I was doing in both cases when it quit:
I had chosen File - Save As, and gotten the Save As dialog on the screen.
The default folder wasn't where I wanted to save, which in both cases was C:\TEMP, so I typed exactly the following characters, replacing entirely the filename shown:
C : \ t e m p \
It was instantly upon typing the second backslash in both cases that Photoshop left the building.
When it DOESN'T quit, this is the exact point where normally the Explorer dialog puts up a list of files in that folder, as shown in this screen grab:
Notably I have a LOT of files in that folder. I haven't cleaned it up in an age, and I guess I should do so on the chance that maybe the list is just so long that someone didn't allocate enough space internally...
Here's a detailed edit log from the second quit: http://Noel.ProDigitalSoftware.com/ForumPosts/PhotoshopQuitLog.txt
I'm not sure whether it's just the number of files in that folder, the large number of images I'm processing today, something specific I'm running (e.g., HDR Toning), or something that's recently changed that's causing this (for example, I installed ATI's Catalyst 11.9 day before yesterday).
I'm going to reprocess the same image again, and I'll probably do substantially the same things. I'll add more info to this thread if I see it again.
-Noel

Bah, no more than I typed the above, than I specifically tested the exact same sequence and reproduced the problem again. This was a relatively short editing sequence.
Notably the current folder the dialog was open to as I was typing the path was the one from which I opened the file, which contains rather a lot of raw image files. The dialog wasn't showing any of them because the default filename was file type .psd, which didn't match any files in that folder, so while your thoughts about FastPictureViewer maybe working on thumbnails could possibly be pertinent, it seems less likely.
I'm going to try to nail this down to a reproducible set of steps. Notably, one thing I'm sure I did in all 3 cases, which I don't often do, was a Crop with Perspective checked (and corners moved).
Another thing I did was Image - Adjust - HDR Toning. I just tried again without doing that and no quit. Unfortunately, I did HDR Toning and still no quit.

How to auto-store files without prompting 'save as'. Adobe X/Adobe X Pro

We have a database program that we have a lot of dokuments on. We have a option to print all documents on each case, and we want to "print" all these documents (word 2003) to the PDF printer and store the files on a pre-defined adress (Example: C:\Users\UserName\Documents\StoreHere\)
We have the "Printer" set as PDF printer as standard, so every time we press print we are prompted to where we want to print the said .doc file. So how to we avoid the prompting and make a setting a standard?
This is OK when its 1-5 files, but when we have 1000 .doc files, things gets very tiresome.
TL;DR: Print .doc files to PDF reader which will auto store any and all .doc files as .pdf files into a pre-defined adress without prompting "save as".

You posted in the wrong place. This is the Reader forum and the Adobe PDF printer is a part of Acrobat...
But anyway, to do that right-click the printer and select Printing Preferences, then go to the "Adobe PDF Settings" tab and click on the Browse button next to the "Adobe PDF Output Folder" drop-down. Select the folder where you want the files to be saved and click OK.
That should do it...

My 5 year old MacBook Air is telling me it "cannot save information about your mailboxes because there isn't enough space in your home folder. Quit mail, delete files you don't need, then reopen mail." What is "home folder," and which files to delete?

The home folder is where all of your personal files are kept.
Best candidates to delete are movies, videos, music and photos since they generally take the most space.
Don't forget to empry the Trash after you delete the file because the space is not returned until the Trash is emptied.

Save As Dialog Different on Exit vs. File - Save As...

I started by opening a raw file through Camera Raw into a 16 bits/channel document. My intent was to edit it a little and save as a JPEG.
Photoshop CS5 Adobe added the ability to save a 16 bits/channel document as a JPEG, without first having to convert to 8 bits/channel. BRAVO Adobe! It's been great.
However that functionality is specifically missing if one tries to exit Photoshop CS5 with an unsaved document. Quite a lot of stuff is missing from the Save dialog that pops up there, actually. It's like some kind of minimalist version. Why?
If I edit a 16 bits/channel document and try to exit before saving, this is the dialog it puts up:
However, File - Save As yields this dialog:
-Noel

Thanks for clarifying.
I understand your thinking - you're trying to watch out for the newbie user and trying not to lose his/her layers, etc.
The thing is, the way it is now makes it just a bit harder for a power-user who knows what he's doing to use Photoshop. I've always disliked features that dumb systems down in the guise of protecting the less technical user at the expense of power. This is not Photoshop Elements, after all!
My case in point: I opened a raw file, Camera Raw automatically applied the settings I had chosen and which the software had stored, I downsized the opened image, and wanted to save it as a JPEG. It had no layers or other "fancy" attributes other than the fact that I always open raw files into 16 bits/channel depth (and I wouldn't want to change THAT default). Since I don't, as a habit, leave applications open, I thought I would just close Photoshop and save the JPEG on the way out. The dialog shown above defaulted to PSD, as I expected, but simply didn't allow me the choice to change it to JPEG. So instead of just being able to blaze through the work in the quickest way, I had to cancel that dialog, choose File - Save As, then exit...
Break in concentration and extra steps for the user who knows what he's doing.
It seems to me that the act of prompting him on exit with a Save As dialog is all the notification needed that document information could be lost, and the user actively changing to another (lossy) format is the user's own confirmation that he/she knows what he/she is about to do.
The more powerful Save As dialog just as it is today would be a perfect match for this. It's a logical outgrowth of Save As A Copy, and the new feature where you're now allowing Save As JPEG directly from a 16 bit file. By using the same dialog at the same time as making the product more powerful, you could simplify the implementation and save some future maintenance cost.

File Save Dialog does not show web folders

Hi.
My system is SAP ECC 6.0. From custom abap program, I need to be able to navigate to a sharepoint folder and save a file to it. I call METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_save_dialog for this. I have already mapped/added the SharePoint site (ex. http://abc/xyz/) to My Network Places. However, when I run my program, the File Save Dialog does not show the web folders in the said sharepoint site. Any clue to what I'm missing here? In WiinExplorer, I have no issue navigating/accessing the web folders.
Thanks in advance.

project manager
um, yeah.
Should not need the project manager simply to see new files added to a directory in a Open/Save dialog window since last opening the app.
I did a scan, a extended scan, opened all the little turn down arrows of the
full path to the directory I knew there to be the new files and yes, Logic
shows them there in the "Project manager".
BUT Logic still does not show the files in the Open/Save dialog windows.
This is strange because even simple app like TextEdit can show
new files in it's Open/Save dialog function windows without the need of
a project manager.
I have to quit and re-launch each time to see any new files?

Prevent File Save Dialog appearing?

I have been using Excel 2010 to create Word Documents and then use .SaveAs to save the newly created file without any issues
When I moved to Office 2013 the same code now presents a File Save dialog box.
I have researched the issue and can find no way to prevent the Dialog appearing (and worse regardless of the user selection the Excel code crashes)
The following is a simplified version of the troublesome code
Sub TestWordSaveAs2()
Dim InvoiceProFormaFileName As Variant
Dim NewFileName As String
Dim WordApplication As Object
Dim WordDoc As Object
' Prompt for a word document
InvoiceProFormaFileName = Application.GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="Word Documents, *.docx", Title:="Any Word File", MultiSelect:=False)
Set WordApplication = CreateObject("Word.Application")
Set WordDoc = WordApplication.Documents.Open(InvoiceProFormaFileName) ' Open the pro-forma invoice
' Create a new name
NewFileName = Replace(InvoiceProFormaFileName, ".docx", "2.docx")
WordDoc.SaveAs2 Filename:=NewFileName, FileFormat:=16, AddtoRecentFiles:=False ' <======= this line Shows the File Save Dialog and then fails
WordDoc.Close SaveChanges:=0 ' wdDoNotSaveChanges
' Finished with the Word Application so can close
WordApplication.Quit
End Sub
Thank you in advance

Hi,
I have create a doc file and a excel file in my pc, after I run the code you have provided ,and choose the doc file I just created, it runs without any save dialog. And My Office is Pro Plus 2013 .
I have upload my sample to OneDrive, you can download it here:
http://1drv.ms/1DhnMe5
When you run this sample, will this show the save dialog again ?
To narrow down this issue, can you create a new empty word and choose it in the excel, does it will happen again? if it is convenient, can you share the doc file you're using? Have you update your office ?

Selecting disc using [File, Open] or [File, Save (as)] crashes application

I'm working in an application (doesn't matter which one, it's persistent in all apps) and choose [File, Open] (or [File, Save as].
Then I want to go to one of my HD's, so I want to select the HD.
But then all of a sudden, upon clicking for the desired HD in the upper left corner, the application quits, it doesn't even freeze, it simply quits...and I'm losing the non saved data I was working on..
This goes for only one specific HD in my setup. My Macintosh HD I can use without a problem.
Strangely enough when I work with the specific HD directly in the Finder there does not seems to be a problem, everything works fine.
I did " Repair disk" (no problem found) and "Repair permissions" (both from the Tiger DVD), but the problem still exists.
I created a new account, problem is exactly the same for the new account
I trashed com.apple.finder.plist and com.apple.sidebarlists.plist but no luck
I tried to watch in crash reports, but the crashes do not seem to get logged.
I hope anyone has a clue what's going on and how I can repair this? This is really annoying

How can i start aperture without retyping the serial number?

how can i start aperture without retyping the serial number?

Quit Aperture.
Go to your Macintosh HD and open the folder "Library", then "Application Support", then "ProApps".
Remove the File "ProAppsSystemID" to the Desktop, if it exist and restart Aperture.
Reenter your serial number, hopefully for the last time.

Aperture doesn't save book layout, book disappears

I start to create a book in Aperture. Then I quit Aperture. When I relaunch Aperture, the book no longer appears in the project. However, if I explore the database using "show package contents," I can see a file with the book's name. Why won't Aperture save my book layout? Why does the file appear to exist, yet the book doesn't appear in the project? Can I recover the in-progress layout?

Yep, that did it! Rebuilt the library as instructed, and the book layout reappeared in the project. Many thanks for the simple and effective solution!

Aperture's file naming. Am I doing something wrong?

I hate Aperture's file naming with every ounce of my being. It is so frustrating and this simple item kills my workflow. I am hoping it's me and I'm doing it wrong. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
1. I import the originals. File name is _dsc.0450.nef
2. On import, I change the name to lapresle200909260450 and sort by image date.
3. I edit.
4. I move images around and group them visually by subject: the details, the groomsmen, etc...
5. I rename the files sequentially. So file #450 might now be #575. The new name might be iconex090926prf0575 and sort by version name.
The proofs go up and the client orders #575. I open the image in A2, edit with Photoshop and save. I go back to A2 and the stack now has two images, iconex090926prf0575 and lapresle200909260450. I export the client's retouched image to a folder on my desktop. My file naming presets are "version name_custom name" with the custom names being 4x6, 5x7, 8x10. When I'm ordering from my lab, each image has the print size in the name so I can keep big orders straight.
After each image that gets an external edit, I have to go into the folder on my desktop and rename the file. Is there any way to have A2 export the image with the name that is visible? Going back in and highlighting and renaming every file to match the proof is so time consuming.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Cheers-Kevin

I import files as they are, no renaming. Then when I'm completely finished editing and organizing them within folders/projects/albums, + any additional editing in PS or other external editors, I relocate masters to my desk top and rename them then. A few seconds later I consolidate those same files back into the Aperture library and there they sit with new "file names." This method works for me but it helps to have tons of free space on the desktop and 16 cores rockin.
Now why can't aperture export "file names" not version names but files names makes absolutely no sense! There is no preset for this and that needs to be fixed. I export custom name and index using the same exact name as the file name to put the images online or where ever. As long as nothing was moved or deleted this method sends images out matching the file names. You need to make sure that all your editing is done before you relocate and consolidate masters. My invoice from Paypal matches the files in my library. Perfect work flow if you never mess up the rough edit, if no body ever wants additional changes-lol, it's really a linear process, and is very limited*
Editing images in apertures external editor or aperture dodge and burn is just stupid because they both create a additional tiff file in an attempt to force nondestructive editing. Where is the switch to turn this off! Please, we're professionals, lets' go manual.
No switch, so I don't use it. It's a failed system like most other "round trip editing" attempts from apple like fcp, soundtrack, and others. I've used them all for years and they only work about half the time, removed from my work flow, end of story.
Instead, prior to relocating and consolidating, I just export out the raw file as a 16 bit tiff and reimport it into aperture when editing is done in PS. Again, my computer does this in under a second, so it works for me.
*Okay, rwboyer, has a very good approach to the problem. Do it the programs way instead of our way. Renaming the masters on import and only adding extensions later is really the way to go. All your searches will always hit the master name so all the extra stuff after the master name can personalize your client without ever changing the master name. He is also right regarding the use of metadata, it's really the reason why I'll forever be a aperture guy.
Having said all that, I still think my way could be the fastest for all kinds of reasons with just two fixes.
Add preset to export file names
toggle switch, for editing raw files in Photoshop raw instead of creating new tiff files.
Rwboyer, makes perfect sense, great approach.

Some progress, comparing com.apple.aperture.plist files

After restoring an old com.apple.Aperture.plist file from a backup on my iDisk with some success in restoring functionality in Full Screen Mode, I am submitting comparisons of some values for both plist values for Leopard (which works very well in Full Screen Mode) and Snow Leopard (which now works somewhat better, miraculously) in Full Screen Mode. Each of these could be used as a starting point to troubleshoot your screen glitch adjustment issues. For those with severe problems, check these out intently. Tonight I will change some of the SL values to be the Leopard values and see what happens. If anyone uses the PropertyListEditor.app and wants to give it a go....make sure you save your present plist on your desktop as com.apple.Aperture.plistold somewhere so that you can restore it to the ~/Library/Preferences directory if you should have some issues:
fullscreenWhichWIndow>Boolean>checked in Leopard, unchecked in Snow Leopard
fullSizeJPEGQuality>Number>1 in Leopard, 0.75 in Snow Leopard
fullscreenScale>Number>0.2 in Leopard, 0.5 in Snow Leopard (.75 in the unworkable version)
fullscreenFadeMode>Number> does not list this variable in Leopard, 3 in Snow Leopard
fullScreenSecondaryMode>Number> does not list this variable in Leopard, 4 in Snow Leopard
fullscreenWhichWindow>Boolean>checked in Leopard, unchecked in Snow Leopard
fullscreenAvoid>Boolean>does not exist in Leopard, checked in Snow Leopard
The following plist entries are the same values for each OS but they are Boolean in Leopard and Number type in Snow Leopard.....
GridViewSet1ShowLabels>Boolean>unchecked in Leopard
GridViewSet1ShowLabels>Number>0 in Snow Leopard
GridViewSet2ShowLabels>Boolean>Unchecked in Leopard
GridViewSet2ShowLabels>Number>0 in Snow Leopard
GridViewShowProperties>Boolean>checked in Leopard
GridViewShowProperties>Number>1 in Snow Leopard

You are looking at Aperture's cache in $TMPDIR.
Usually it is no problem to delete the contents of this cache, if Aperture is not running. But it is suspicious, that the videos have not been removed automatically, after Aperture quit.
Check the permissions on the $TMPDIR folder, if you are still the owner. If you are not for some reason, reset the ownership to yourself.
Log off and on to terminate any running processes. Open the Terminal and enter:
sudo chown -R $UID $TMPDIR..
You will need to enter your admin password.
Then test, if Aperture clean the cache on its own, after you relaunch Aperture.
Otherwise remove the videos yourself after quitting Aperture.
Regards
Léonie
P.S: Is there any related problem that made you browse the system cache files?

HOW CAN I GET MY OLD TABS (FILE SAVE/BOOKMARK, ETC) BACK ON TOP OF SCREEN? I HATE THIS NEW LAYOUT!

Today some kind of update happened on Firefox without me even approving it. Suddenly, I no longer have the tabs across the top that I REALLY liked--File/save as, Bookmark, View, etc. I WANT THEM BACK. Yes, I have found the little goofy drop-down icon on the right corner of the screen, but I don't like that. How can I get old view back???
Thank you!

Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File Save.

I am using Mountain Lion (10.8.2) and I was using Adobe Reader version 9. In the past, I've always been able to print to file using the File -> Print dialogue but all of a sudden it stopped working. I read somewhere that installing the latest version of Adobe Reader (version 11) would remove the old printer, so I did so. It took me about an hour on version 11 to even find the pdf print to file option, but I am getting the same message. For what it's worth, when I try print to file from Microsoft Word, I have no problem. I have no idea why things changed all of a sudden, but does anyone have any idea how I can get this working again?

I checked with Adobe. No luck.
Allow me to clarify my problem:
I have Adobe Reader XI. I also use a Mac--imac and a MacBook Pro. My adobe was updated on 12/24. Prior to that point, I could open my print dialogue box and there was a PDF tab on the bottom left. In the drop down menu there were many choices, including but not limited to Open in PDF Preview, Print PDF, Save PDF, email PDF. If I selected one page of 30 pages from a document saved in Adobe, I could extract just that one page and save it or email it, without having to send the entire document. After the update, when I open a PDF file using ADOBE READER XI, and then open the print dialogue box, and follow those same steps, I get the message "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save." My question is why is this feature now unavailable and is there a way to fix it?
The answer I got from Adobe was that Adobe never had this function, so it must have been via my print or preview programs..which are apple. Does anyone have any thoughts?
Thank you.

I just upgraded to Snow Leopard, and I have Aperture 3.1.3. Now after I import pics from my camera I get a dialog box so large I can't get to the eject card button. I have to force quit Aperture. How do I fix?

I just upgraded to Snow Leopard, and I have Aperture 3.1.3. Now after I import pics from my camera I get a dialogue box so large that I can't see the eject card button. Consequently, I can't get rid of the dialogue box without having to do a force quit on Aperture. How do I fix?

I can drag the dialog box, but I can't move it up far enough to get to the eject card button. The dialogue box contains all the jpeg Numbers I am trying to upload. It has never done that before. It used to be just a smal dialogue box with no jpeg numbers in it.
It is even difficult to get to the Finder with the Dialague box is open. I have to force quit aperture.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
