I've just started using multiple libraries recently (mum's slides,
mum-out-law's slides), and in Aperture 2 it seems...well, "simple now"
is good. I quite like the UI, so I'll be interested to see how it's
changed.

I've 15,000 of my own, which is both much more and much less than I'd
have thought. I think I saw reference to problems with bigger
libraries (45,000?), and also that it happened with some but not
others. There's no response from Apple as yet, so it's hard to know
much at this stage, though the problem seems to occur on the upgrading
of the library file(s) rather than subsequent operation.

I've tended towards just using keywords and smart albums. I also don't
get it to move my photos from their original place on my hard disk,
but I do import the folders as projects with the same folder structure
(Camera>YYYYMM>file). I haven't keyworded anywhere near everything
yet, though a few major events and every person in every photo (that I
know) has been keyworded. I love it for its organisation, and I hope
to love it more for places and faces.

I'm glad, and from what I've read I think you're past the risk point.
Cheers,
Marc (back to scanning...)
