This is an info for Aperture users out there...

This happens very rarely, but if it happens, beware! I decided to move  
my Mac from OS X 10.4 tO 10.5 and do a clean install. Normaly this is  
not a problem at all, but this time... After installing all the  
software and moving my data, I had problems opening my aperture  
libraries because of wrong permissions. This seemed very strange since  
my libraries are on seperate harddrives and I everything alse was the  
same, but it happened.
The only way to remedy this is to repair permissions from within  
Aperture, I tried to do this with other tools - it didn't work. To  
repair permissions from within Aperture, you have to press the opt &  
cmd keys when opening a library and verify the coherence. And here is  
the warning: IT TAKES A VERY LONG TIME. I have started the process 2  
days ago and I'm only at 65% of my library (400+ Gb)!

Next time I shall recover my libraries from a backup, that should be  
less time consuming!

All the best from the south of France!
