So, finally forced to move away from Apple Aperture...
#12
I wholeheartedly agree with Markus. No file system tagging can ever do what a specialised and sophisticated database can do in less time, with fewer clicks. Tagging pictures is one of the most boring and therefore error-prone thing to do for me - and with "whatever keywords" is just the same as "with how many typos, systematic errors, wrong terminology you like", again for me. This yours solution thxbb12, is not working for everyone - maybe especially not of those who worked with Aperture. Aperture is maximum organisation with minimum effort - great for lazy bones like me. Everything else is only a sample for imperfect programming.

I'm using a graphic tablet instead a mouse as it's the fastest way to edit for me. It's also the fastest way to move files accidentally - and there's only one "undo" action possible in the finder. So my chances to create a file mess increased some 100% just by being forced to organize files. For what did I buy a computer if I have to do that manually? For the old "negatives in shoeboxes" feeling?

In Capture One the search text box can only find filenames. No albums, no projects, no people whose faces were recognized. And once it finds them, it's incapable to show me in which project or album the picture is organised. And searching for 2620 also finds DST3030.ARW Any explanation?

There's no substitute around. Giving up Aperture felt much like an amputation or a tooth extraction - but the teeth I already forgot and missing Aperture still causes phantom pain. It's not a bit of fun and it had a massive impact about how I take photographs. To the worse and the better: I hate the organisation curse, but I love the edit possibilities.

Markus, I think that's the reason we're not seeing the step up to D850, as it's not supported by Apple's RAW machine?
