Export Original Files not working when trying to export files culled previously with Photo Mechanic – Code: 0

Daniel Vegel

Hello everyone!

I started using Photo Mechaninc for culling thousands of images before editing in C1. However, when I try the usual way of exporting the original files for archiving (Export - Export Original Files), I get an error message: Export Failed, No files were exported. Please check Events log for details.)

When I imported the selected photos from Photo Mechanic, I noticed that the extension is lowercase (.nef), not uppercase like it is usually (.NEF). Can this cause the issue?

Thanks in advance!

Best,

Daniel

    extension case is not the issue. make sure capture one has permissions on the destination volume / folder.

    Hi Walter,

    Many thanks for your comment. Capture One should have all the permissions since I export the original files daily for archiving, and I have never encountered this issue. So, the problem must be related to incorporating Photo Mechanic into the workflow (culling) before editing in C1.

    I checked the files in Finder to see if Photo Mechanic locks them or something like that. But it looks all good, not locked. The only differences I see are the lowercase extension and the XMP files associated with each .nef file. Usually, there wouldn't be XMP files, only a CaptureOne folder created by C1 during the export, which would contain the Cache and Settings folders.
