I would like to export all of the projects from Aperture to a directory in my computer. Since I have many projects (100+), I don't want to export them one by one. Is there a way to batch export them to a directory? For example, my projects might look like this:
- 2011-11-23 Thanksgiving
- 2011-12-24 Christmas
- 2012-07-07 John Wedding
I would like to export them to:
- ~/Pictures/Exports/2011-11-23 Thanksgiving
- ~/Pictures/Exports/2011-12-24 Christmas
- ~/Pictures/Exports/2012-07-07 John Wedding
I appreciate your helps. Thank you.

Select the material you want to export and File -> Export -> Version.
This will give you the Export dialogue. Look at it closely as it has a lot of options.
Somethings are quite obvious: Where to export to, for instance. But note the others:
Export Preset: This determines the size (length x breadth), file format and compression applied to the image on export. (So, full-size, tiff/jpeg and so on). Note the option at the bottom of the dropdown to Edit - that allows you to create your own Export preset depending you your requirements.
Next note the SubFolder Format. That's what allows you to design a naming scheme for the exported projects. There are presets there, and again, using the Edit option you can devise your own.
I note that you then plan to delete the projects from Aperture. Why? Not sure you've grasped the point and purpose of the app if that's what you're doing...
