You're out of date. Get on Yosemite, it's been supported natively in OSX for around 6 months now in finder/quicklook etc and it's supported across Adobe apps too.
Pretty sure I won't go to Yosemity, there are still too many problems! The very first thing I did, when I got my new MacPro last month, was to re-format and install Mavericks. At home I also still use Mountain Lion because of many things. I'm not shure If I did my Aperture test at home or in the studio, but will repeat it tomorrow on 10.9, maybe it works there…
Aperture is dead (was never really alive) but pretty sure latest version supports it anyway. To be replaced by "Photos for OSX".
Aperture is still the
very best way for selecting images and handle the files. I haven't yet found
any program (and I was searching for a very long time now!) that does the job even roughly as good as Aperture does, especially with a high amount of files! I agree, that Aperture has it's problems and that it's not any more suitable for processing the RAWs as it hasen't been improved for several years, but that's part of Apple's "we don't care about professionel users" policy… anyway: there's no alternative for selection and file handling (and also "databasing") giving the same speed, comfort und functionality as Aperture does… regarding "Photos for OSX": it's crap (sorry, buth that's the truth…) nothing else as a toy for kids...
