Controlling Slideshows with the Apple Remote

In Aperture 1.5, you can control slideshows with the Apple Remote that comes with
MacBook, MacBook Pro, and iMac computers.

Copying Your Presets to Another Aperture System

In Aperture 1.5, you can now share your presets, such as export, filenaming, and print
presets, with other Aperture 1.5 or later systems. This is particularly useful when you
want to copy your preset settings from one workstation in your studio to another, or
from a workstation to a portable computer.

To copy your preset settings from one Aperture system to another:

1

Make sure Aperture 1.5 is installed on both systems.

2

Copy the contents of /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Aperture/ to the
same location on the other computer.

When you open Aperture on the other system, your preset settings match the Aperture
system you copied them from.

Opening Aperture Libraries in the Finder

You can now easily open Aperture Libraries from any location in the Finder by
double-clicking the Aperture Library icon. When you open an Aperture Library using
this method, Aperture resets the Library’s location in Preferences to the current location
of the Aperture Library file.

Note: Opening an Aperture Library in the Finder does not overwrite the contents of
the previously selected Aperture Library.

To open an Aperture Library in the Finder:

1

Quit Aperture if it is open.

2

In the Finder, double-click the icon for the Aperture Library you want to open.

Aperture opens, displaying the contents of the selected Library. If you want to display
the contents of the previous Library, repeat steps 1 and 2.
