where does trash go
when you delete a photo and would like to retrive it

A photo trashed in CO4 goes into the Windows Recycle Bin. You can recover it from there including settings and cache files. It is no rocket science but I suggest to try it out with a few spare images to get familiar with it in case you accidentily hitted the trash button on your best image. 0 -
Hi,
in addition to Paul's reply you need to leave the actual directory of images (the one from which the file was deleted) going to any other and then when going back the deleted file will re-appear with its settings. All three files (raw-image file, proxy file and settings file) need to be restored from the trash bin for that.0 -
I am right now evaluating Capture One 4, I like it and might purchase.
But the way you have setup delete is potentially very dangerous.
If you in windows disable the use of the Recycle bin, (Right click on Recycle bin => Properties, choose "Do not move files to recycle bin"), you get an unrecoverably-delete-photo-function without confirmation dialog. Which is not very nice.
I found out this the hard way. Lost a perfectly good photo. 🤓 🤬
To make matters worse, you use the same functionality for deleting variants. Delete one variant too much, and... Poof! Photo gone for good.
So please, pretty please, Implement a (optional) "are you sure you want to erase this image" dialog or a quarantine folder functionality or something similar.
If there is some hidden preference to change this behavior, please let me know.0 -

Why have you disabled the recycle bin? 😕
The easy fix for you would be to turn it back on.0 -

Because I don't like having to delete my files twice. One time with confirmation Yes/No is enough for me.0 -

..in which case, having a reliable undelete utility to hand would seem to be an absolute necessity. Not that I disagree with your opinion. No delete operation, in any software, should happen without user confirmation.
You'd be well advised to put forward your request as a support case. The process is a little involved, but it's the support cases, rather than this forum, that get the attention of Phase One staff.0 -

If I recall..... one of the complaints during the beta was that people hated being asked for that delete confirmation.
I have my recycle bin at a small fixed size. I do not have it set to confirm delete. ( one less step that way )
I never empty it. Old stuff just goes away as new comes in. This way If I accidentally delete something, it is easy to get it back with a restore.0 -

Yes, I see that point that is why I included that "(optional)" remark.[quote="SteveCa" wrote:

That is one setup I haven't considered. Might be worth a try.
What would happen if you accidentally select all at root level of a disk and press delete? Presuming the files on the disk takes up more space than your set limit. Would it happily delete all without confirmation?0 -

The normal thing is that, if Windows finds that the deletions are too large to go into the Recycle Bin, it tells you, and asks whether you want the files deleted immediately.0 -
Apart from the Recycle Bin discussion, I looked at how CO4 handles deletion of raw files and variants.
I came to the odd discovery that when I delete more than one image or variant, I do get a confirmation dialog. In CO4/Win there is no distinction in the type of message between deletion of images versus deletion of clone variants (where at least one variant of an image remains). In CO4/Mac I get different messages reflecting the action and its result.
I will ask Phase One support in a feature request later this week to improve this and make it more consistent later this week.0
