Changing the Location of Images When You Import Them
When you import images stored on a hard disk, you can copy or move those images to
a new location. You specify a new location for the moved or copied files by choosing a
destination folder from the Store Files pop-up menu in the Import dialog.
You specify filenames used within Aperture by choosing a name format from the
Version Name pop-up menu. You can also have Aperture change the Finder filename of
images to the selected name format by selecting the “Apply to Master filenames”
checkbox. Then an image will have the same filename in the Finder and in Aperture.
When you move or copy image files to a different location, you can have Aperture
place them as individual files in the destination folder, or place them in subfolders
within the destination folder. For example, a group of images might be copied into a
destination folder with each image placed in a subfolder identified by a date. Or, each
image might be placed in a hierarchy of subfolders organized by year, month, and day.

destination for the files
you are moving or
copying using this
pop-up menu.
