Is there a new Smugmug export tool for Aperture 3?

Not that I know of. SmugMug has never provided one, Apple has never provided one, and the guy that did the one for Aperture hasn't updated it in a LONG time.

Frankly, I just export the albums to disk and then use MacDaddy to do the importing.

I downloaded the export tool and followed Homes's directions, but I still only have 32 bit export to smugmug

What changed between 5:37pm & 11:03pm on the 14th?



I have downloaded the updated export plugin (Aperture to SmugMug 0.31.zip), and placed in the export folder as instructed.... and restarted the computer multiple times.

But I still get the 32bit message?

Go to:

library

aplication support

aperture

plugins

export and place the file in the export folder. There is another library, but you want this one.

I downloaded David's 64-bit version and am still having problems exporting completely. I keep getting stuck about 3/4 the way through the export process.

On top of that, my AP3 program consistently quits unexpectedly and often takes forever to process previews, etc.

Anyone else having any or all of these problems? I have all the latest AP3 updated as well including the one released yesterday (HD video / music sync issues).

Out of the two upgrades, I'm most disappointed with this one. The new tools are hot, but what good are they if my program is so unstable?

Have you tried the below? (From the Apple discussions board) Many people have reported success with this:

"Are you running the latest aperture 3 updates and prokit updates? If not, run software update, if you are - go to the finder and move everything to the trash that is inside these folders:

Hard Drive/Library/Caches
Hard Drive/System/Library/Caches
Hard Drive/Users/(Your user)/Library/Caches

Also delete this file:
Hard Drive/Users/(Your user)/Preferences/com.apple.aperture.plist

Reboot... It will take a little bit. Report back if this works. "

Users with less than 4 GB ram have also reported better performance in 32-bit mode.

Also, set preferences not to make previews for new projects, and turn previews off when A3 starts processing in old projects. Then when you decide which photos need previews you can select them and run update previews from the Photo pull down menu.

Disable faces as well, and do all the updates as Mark suggested.

MarkR and dlplumer, you guys are both a God send. Thank you so much for your time in forwarding me the information from the Apple Discussion board. It seems to have worked like a charm. The export to SmugMug is a lot slower than usual right now, but it's indeed exporting and that's all that matters to me right now.

I couldn't find where to disable faces but I actually use it to help keep track of my model releases anyhow.

You guys rule. Thanks again.

disable faces in preferences under general. It slows things down tremendously. Turn it on only when you need it.

I feel like an idiot now. I looked at General and didn't see the blatant checkmark...lol. Will do. Thanks again.
