In-Depth Information
When merging libraries, sometimes there will be a conflict. For example, if you exported a project
from your desktop to your laptop, made similar changes in both places, and then tried to merge
the library from your laptop with the one on your desktop, you will create a conflict because a file
has been changed in both libraries. If Aperture finds a conflict, it prompts you with the dialog
shown in Figure 10.6 about how you want to resolve the conflict.
10.6 Aperture lets you pick which library's data it should use to resolve any
merge conflicts.
You resolve a conflict by picking which library is accurate. Unfortunately it doesn't provide any
information about what the conflict is, and it will apply your pick to all conflicts it finds. If you have
merge conflicts, to be safe, we recommend clicking Cancel, reimporting this library, and clicking
Add instead of Merge so that Aperture imports its contents as a copy into your library, rather than
possibly replacing existing, good data.
If you drag and drop a library onto Aperture from the Finder, Aperture prompts you
if you want to add or merge this library into the open library.
Note
The Projects View also lets you merge libraries into specific projects. To do so, select
the project in the Projects View, Control+click and choose Import
Library/Project,
and select the library to merge.

Working with multiple computers
A very common reason to work with multiple libraries is that you have multiple computers. While
you will need to establish a workflow that best fits your setup, here are our recommendations
