How to View All Images in Subfolders
I can search as much as I want, but I find no solution.
How can I see all images in Subfolders?
What I want to accomplish:
1. I shoot a lot of locations.
2. All locations are in their own folder
3. these folders have subfolders, dividing the Locations in Sets.
This all is important for the main workflow.
Now I want to:
1. Rename all Images from one location. (I cant, because I have to go into each subfolder and Batch-Rename the images in each subfolder by itself)
2. I want to pre-process all images from one Location (I cant, I have to go into each subfolder again...)
This is so annoying, it hurts!
I can do the renaming in Lightroom, but then Capture one does not connect the settings-files with the RAW-Files, thus my setting for the images are gone! And second, it did not solve my problem to then process hte images from one location at once.
I can not work with Catalogs or Sessions that only show content that was imported. My workflow does not allow this. I need access just to all files on different Drives.
Processed RAW´s get sorted away and new RAW´s get added into the pipeline. These RAW´s come presorted in folders for Locations, and presorted Subfolders as Location-Sets.
Who at P1 has this Idea of not giving its users the ability to choose between "show content in subfolders" and to not to show it? Is it the Image-Professor? If yes, I want to slap him! 😡
I constantly have to klick on a new folder... again and again and again,... and when doing so, all functions are disabled until I click on an image in that folder. I cant even click on a Folder, click CMD-A to have all images selected... No, I have to move the mouse back to the images, and click one of the images, then ad the settings. WHY?!?
I feel so chained within Capture-One, If I do not need it, I stay away from it. Unfortunately I owe a PhaseOne Camera.

1000% agreed. This small change would make a big difference to some workflows.

In Bibble / Aftershot Pro this has always been handled with a simple toggle at the top of the Catalog list - Show Subfolders.
With it checked all images in subfolders are shown, unchecked it acts like Capture One does.1 -
And yes, you can create smart albums and other workarounds that take time to implement, but they aren't a global solution. 0 -
Yes, when I create a smart album, I have to set the images to be there... thus I have to go to the subfolders again. Will not benefit from it.
Plus I handle about 5000 Images a day in production phase (this can be two weeks through). With up to 20 images per set, average 8 Images. 5000/8 = 625 Folders I click in. But it is only 5 Locations! That is so frustrating!0 -
Could not agree more. This was the first thing that boggled my mind when I was evaluating C1 as a potential migration path from Aperture.
The way folders (and groups) behave in C1 is identical to the filesystem/finder. Which makes zero sense, because what we are looking at is not a filesystem but a SQL database.
Any click at any element should reveal EVERYTHING BELOW this element. And any further click down the rabbit hole should narrow down (drill down) the selection. That's how databases are usually behaving.
We should all file feature requests for this.0 -
Hi
This thread seem to have gone wrong somewhere so let be just add some quick comments.
"Folders" should act as a folder structure. The name says exactly what it is.
When it comes to User Collections, then an album acts like a single container.
You can only see the images of that container.
However Projects can see all images in sub-albums of that project.
Last there is smart albums which are configurable and bases its search on where in the User Collection structure it is.0 -

Yes, logging feature requests with Phase One support is the only way to get the changes we would like considered. I requested this earlier in the month0 -

Great. So, how does one auto-create Projects from an existing folder structure, or import directly into a Project with sub-albums created for subfolders?
Because a Project does sound like what I want, but as far as I can tell, there's no easy way to create one from an existing set of folders. Is there?0 -

IIRC there's a webinar later today that discusses Catalogs and Sessions. If you can still register for it you should be able to ask your question and have it answered - plus whatever else there is to be gained from the event.

But given that the Browser shows images in a "Collection", you are already treating a subfolder as a Collection. Why can't the parent folder (and it's contents) be treated as a Collection too?
If you are saying that the parent folder is *not* a Collection, then for all intents and purposes, neither is the subfolder (it's a folder, right?). Those images shouldn't show in the browser either. But doing that would be silly.
To me, the parent folder is a Collection, of subfolders, and should be treated as such. That is, showing the images that Collection contains, including those in the subfolders.0 -

Sorry, but I disagree.
There are folders in Aperture which may contain several projects. When you click on such a folder in the hierarchical tree, you can see all the images that are inside all the projects. When I then click on a project, I can see only the pictures of this project. That's how you typically view data in a database, by drilling down.
And that's what I expected C1 to do inside its "User collections", but it does'nt.
I want to have a multidimensional view over my database. I don't want to have any filesystem logic applied here, because that's why I spend money on a SQL based digital asset management tool. It should replace my filesystem and the finder.
Again: it is common knowledge that Aperture did almost everything right when it came to the DAM part. Nobody else in the marketplace seems to go ahead and just copy+paste what Apple did here conceptionally and it is downright bizarre, if you ask me.0 -
Interestingly, in the webinar on just now, it showed that when you import a Session into a Catalog, it recreates all of the folders in the Session as a Project with Albums in the User Collections.
I'd like to be able to do the exact same thing - just with the folder structure of the existing Catalog. Hmm.0 -
I use a project to hold several albums in C1 as well.
When I imported my Aperture catalog, that's also how it showed up, so many projects with 1 or more albums in there.
A project will show the albums underneath.
But indeed if I group them all in a group/folder then I would also expect that to show all projects, so all underlying albums.0
