Show Images in Subfolders
Recent Lightroom immigrant. I find it unbelievable that Capture One doesn't have something similar to 'Show Contents of Subfolders' within the catalog library 'Folders' tab. My entire image library is organized in folder 'trees' by the date. So in order to show any images I have to click through several folders before seeing anything. For example I have a catalog named 'Travel' within that is folders for 'Italy, England... etc', then subfolders for events or dates or even different cameras, within those are the images. I need to be able to click 'Italy' and see all the photos from that folder and its subfolders. Anybody have a good work around? It's like I'm being punished for keeping my work organized for years.

Did you try to right-click on the parent folder and select in the contextual menu "Show Folder Hierarchy" ?

@Robert,
I'm pretty sure that what he is after, which is what I too would like, is to see all of the images in the subfolders within a parent folder, when clicking on the parent. As it is if one clicks on"Parent" one gets "No images in collection". It is not until one clicks on the subfolder that any images are shown, and only images in a single folder are seen. Coming from Lightroom, this is a big problem for me.

Robert, yes that will just show the sub folders but not display their contents in the viewer or anything.

Fred, you’re exactly right. It seems like such a simple thing and I’ve seen other posts with people complaining about it.

OK, I understand. And yes, this has been asked for for a long time..... I came from Lightroom too 5 years ago, and this is indeed missing in Capture One.

Here's one previous request.

Thanks everyone. After further research it seems like User Collections will be the best tool for what I want. I just need to go through all my catalogs and create User Collections for each project/event. Lots of housekeeping but probably worth doing.

Just seen this thread. I also requested this feature some months ago after coming from Aperture and LR and trying other programs that all offered this way to "drill down" through parent folders. I find it pretty extraordinary CO doesn't offer this at least as an option. If CO21 had offered it, I might have been tempted to upgrade.
I found a semi-solution in User Collections: Group>Project>Album hierarchies. If I make a project for a given year, I can at least then have albums inside that for each month, which does help. Click on a year or month: you see everything inside. I wrote an Applescript to create this structure for any given folder hierarchy that is at least three levels deep. Every photo from the third level down will be shown in the album at the base of the structure. Maybe I could post it here?
Just posted script here: https://support.captureone.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360014386618-Create-User-Collections-to-Mitigate-opaque-Folders-in-Folders-Tab-

Hi there,
Hi. Yes, it was pointed out to me in the other thread how to do this with filters. They are certainly very powerful and flexible. Good to learn. I'm new to CO and am on the whole very impressed. But I still like what my script presents in User Collections and it seems others have been setting up User Collections for date grouping, too (e.g. FirstName LastName 3 months ago above), which is why I decided to upload my script.
One thing that definitely impresses me about CO is its scripting feature. Kudos.
BTW, why does this forum keep losing my name, also? I keep telling it who I am and it renames me FirstName LastName, too. Then there is the problem uploading code: see the other post under Scripting and you'll see what hoops we have to go through to post formatted scripts... Sigh!

Thanks for the heads up! Just read the release notes for 14.3.0 as I am a CO 20 user still. Was waiting for the new features I'd use most to make it into a new release and this may tip me into updating.
