So, yeah. I fekked up. I "accidentally" nuked Aperture so it doesn't work any more which means I can't find images I had in there. I know the images are somewhere on the computer but I simply can't find them.

There's no point trying to fix Aperture (for reasons we won't go into here) and at the moment I just need to find the images. Is it in some way possible to search the whole HD for all images ending with .nef? Because when I try with spotlight it seems like it doesn't search within the aperture library.

Anyone know what to do?

There's a program out there somewhere to add specific directories to Spotlights searching range, should come up on a forum search.
