User-ordered Sorting / Merely Opening a File / Staying Put
Hi,
Quick questions:
1. Can Capture One 5 support manual sorting of images?
I'd like to be able to drag an image to another place in line. Sorting by Date, Color Tag, etc. doesn't do that. I see a semi-transparent thumbnail when I click on an image and drag it to a different place but it won't insert itself between two images to re-order the images. I also don't see the equivalent of "user-determined sorting" in the drop menu for sorting.
2. Can Capture One 5 just open a file in Photoshop without processing it?
Each time I click on Process it creates a brand new TIFF file with a different name. I'd like to just open the file I'm right-clicking and not create a new file each time.
3. Can Capture One be set up to open (or process) each file in the same directory the file already resides in?
Under Process Recipe the Output To: field stays wherever it's pointing (e.g. directory X) even if I move to another directory (e.g. directory Y) to process a different set of images. Can I just process the TIFF files into whatever directory the RAW file already resides in by default without explicitly setting an output location each time?

Also, I found out how, in the Library module, I can right-click on a folder and make it into the Output folder. That's still rather manual. Is there a way to set "Whichever folder the image I'm working on is already in" as its Output folder without manually re-setting the Output folder each time I change folders? 0 -
1) this is not possible in CO5
2) this is not possible in CO5
3) this is possible in CO5 Pro/DB. Go to Process Recipe, Advanced tab, Root Folder, Image Folder0 -
Paul,
Thanks. So are #1 and #2 supported in Pro?
#3 I can work around and live with, nice to know that Pro supports it directly.
#1 really ought to be included in 5, that's a very basic functionality.
#2 is a lot more serious because not only is it "brain-dead basic" functionality missing (IMHO) but my only workaround is to use Lightroom. That's really a bummer. Any plans to include it in CO basic?
Also, is CO5 intended to be to CO Pro like Photoshop Elements is to Photoshop? Just curious what the relative positioning of the products is.0 -
I would venture that passing of info directly to PS w/o making an output file would require C1 to have direct access to some PS code. IOW, it would have to produce a file that was a PS PSD or whatever they use now for that functionality. I remember Bibble Labs trying to include this years ago without much success. More often than not it wouldn't work. 0 -
The missing features are not included in CO 5 Pro as well. Regarding manual sorting (#1), a feature request would be the best way to go.
Regarding (#2) the same, although I agree with SteveCase that it is not a feature I would recommend using. I recall Canon DPP having this but I did not found it robust. The problem is that it relies on program calls of CO, operating system, application to open image. To many variables in one equation. One vote against.0 -
Thank for the replies.
1. How do I file a product enhancement request to include manual sorting?
2. Hmmmmmm....... I don't think I agree on the complexity part. Or on the moving parts.
It really doesn't make sense to me because CO is 2) calling PS anyway to open a TIFF file after 1) CO processes that TIFF file. Seems that would involve more moving parts than just opening the file directly. If the code is designed in a modular fashion then it should be able to skip the Process part and go straight to the Open The File part of the code.
That is, unless CO is relying on Windows file associations to auto-invoke PS just by generating a TIFF file. But even then, there has to be some trigger in the OS being called by CO to make that happen.
That said, I don't know how CO is designed so things might be coded in a way that make that hard to do. Or there might be design barriers in Windows. Apparently other programs have had problems. But conceptually it doesn't seem like a showstopper kind of problem to solve....0 -

Create a support case to that effect;

Currently this isn't possible. The workaround is to, once the file is processed as a TIFF and in the "Output" folder, drag the Browser Thumbnail to Photoshop, Low and Behold the file opens in Photoshop. Right now the only other software association we can have through Capture One Software is to Expression Media 2.0
