iMedia stopped recognizing my Aperture Library

[Robin]

Hey guys

All of a sudden my Aperture library is not recognized anymore by iMedia, it used to work until a couple of days ago and now that I checked again its all of a sudden gone from the selectable sources in the iMedia test app. I opened Aperture in between, once without connecting the drive where all my pictures are stored but the library itself is on my internal HD and previously it was always able to locate it just fine.

Did anybody else run into this problem and figure out how to fix it?

Cheers,

Robin

Ps. I am talking about the non-sandboxed/current version

Hey,

I dugg a little deeper and think I found the issue. When trying to initialize an Aperture parser, iMedia first looks for a key "ApertureLibrary" in com.apple.iApps which is gone on my system (I don't know if it previously was there, but any changing of "share previews with iApps" to always doesn't make it appear there again).

iMedia then looks at the com.apple.Aperture settings and checks two keys, "RKXMLExportManagerMode" and "LibraryPath". Whilst the first is present, the second one that is supposed to point to the library is called "XMLDataFilePath" and there is no "LibraryPath" present in the config (Aperture 3.2.2).

Does anybody know when the key for the library location changed? Once we have that info I can prepare a fix for this.
