“Turns out this is easier than one could ever imagine. Open the Library you want to contain everything, use Finder to navigate to the Library you want to import/merge in, and simply drag-n-drop that Library into the open Aperture Library.”
This worked like a charm. The reason I did not try this simple solution is because I first tried File/Import/Library… which did not work – it tried to merge them as if they were the same Library edited on different machines (you would expect the behavior to be for it to ask Add or Merge but for some reason in 3.6 it does not)
So when File/Import/Library did not work every which way I tried to do it I abandoned trying to try things… If I had only tried the simple drag and drop!!
You can also double-click the library file you want to merge in the Finder and Aperture will ask whether you want to Switch to it or Merge it. Answer Merge if that’s what you want. (This assumes you already have a different library open in Aperture. If Aperture is not open when you double-click a library in the Finder, it will just open as the new default library in Aperture.)
