Using GC10 for DM as Aperture replacement?
Posted: Mon Mar 05, 2018 10:59 pm
In looking to replace Aperture I never actually considered GC, which I've owned for years (decades?) but never considered the app for asset management. However, on reading a recent post at www.macintouch.com, where a reader has used GC to manage his library, apparently I needed to look again at an application that I have used consistently over the years, but not for this.
Anyway, I opened the manual that comes with v10, where I saw this: "…you can now access the Aperture library…", which was terrific news.
But how? I didn't see the quoted text anywhere in the manual. What am I missing? I tried double-clicking my library.aplibrary in Browser mode in GC10 with no effect, and I tried pointing GC10 to the same file through the Open dialog.
So the question is: Can GC10 actually open Aperture library files? If so, how? And does it do any sort of conversion on the file, or is it still usable in Aperture?
