I see this too. The behavior I get is different though. In my case the
existing files are overwritten (or at least touched -- their dates are
updated) and no error is reported. I use these lines to write the data
out:
// Store the image data in the file
MLogString(1,@"Writing file");
flag = [imageData writeToFile:fullpath atomically:NO];
MLogString(1,(flag?@"Successful":@"Failed"));
I've already filed this bug in Radar (#5749684), but I'm reposting
it here in the hope that it will save other developers some time.
If you also see this problem with your plugin, it might be worth
filing a bug and referencing my bug number.
========================
Summary: Under Aperture 2, export plugins which attempt to export
two versions which have the same name collide and Aperture 2 cancels
the export. Aperture 2 makes no attempt to suffix file names that
potentially collide.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an export plugin that returns NO to -wantsFileNamingControls
2. Select two versions in Aperture 2 and batch-change their Version
Name field to the same value.
3. Attempt to export these versions through an Export plugin.
4. The export will fail with a message like:
"Aperture was not able to write image data to disk for “Bar.jpg”. A
file of the same name may already exist in the target directory (/
Users/fspeirs/Library/Application Support/FlickrExport/Aperture/
ResizeCache/Bar.jpg), or you may not have permission to write files
to this location, or there may be insufficient disk space."
Expected Results:
Under Aperture 1.5, colliding files would have their file name
appended with (1), (2), etc. Aperture 2 appears to make no attempt
to prevent file names colliding for plugins that do not present file
naming controls to the user.
Actual results:
Aperture presents the "Error Writing Image to Disk" text mentioned
in step 4 above.
Regression:
Plugins which exhibit this problem under Aperture 2 work correctly
under Aperture 1.5.6.
Notes:
The problem of potentially colliding file names is handled correctly
by Aperture 2 when exporting versions to disk via File > Export >
Versions. In that case, colliding file names will be appended with
(1), (2), etc.
If a plugin does present file naming controls, the error message is
still presented if the selected file naming preset does not use a
counter or other means of distinguishing files (e.g. date, counter,
etc.).
Aperture 1.5.6 handled this correctly for export plugins and version
exports. Plugins that operated correctly under Aperture 1.5.6 do not
handle this situation correctly under Aperture 2.
There is no workaround to this problem, since the
AperturePluginProtocol does not give plugins the opportunity to
suggest alternative paths on a per-file basis.
