I hate stupid software!

I have a MobileMe account and I use Aperture to manage my photos. So, today, I was publishing an album to share with the family; a large album of about 200 photos. I use MobileMe because it allows sharing of full resolution pictures for the family to download and print if they wish.

So I publish the album and I wait for it to finish publishing which takes a couple of hours to upload. After it’s up on the MobileMe gallery page, I realize that a photo is missing and a photo is not good to post. So I go back to Aperture, add the missing photo and remove the other photo and click the synchronize icon.

Aperture starts re-uploading the whole album. THE WHOLE FREAKING ALBUM. Two hours of wasted time and bandwidth.

For whoever designed the synching algorithm: What the hell were you thinking?
