Can I change the way adjustments are stored in v20 and up?
Before v20 C1 would generate a "CaptureOne" subdirectory containing all the previews and adjustments in the same directory as the photos.
I use cataloging software (iMatch) to keep my photo's organised and it would ensure this would all be kept together when I made changes to a files location. So when I moved a directory of photo's around all the adjustments would still be there because the subdirectory structure would just move around with the photo's themselves.
In the current version however, there is no subdirectory. I'm guessing the adjustments etc. are stored in the catalog database. Unfortunately this means that all adjustments etc. are lost when I move a folder around outside C1. This happens because C1 doesn't know the image that it sees in the new location are one that it's seen before so it processes it like it is new.
Is there a setting somewhere that I can set to make C1 work the old way? Or is there a different way of achieving what I want that I'm missing?
I did find a way to tell C1 that the location of a directory changed through "Locate" but that requires a manual action for every directory.

It sounds like you've been working in a Catalog in C1.
In order to have the previews & adjustments in a subfolder of the where the image files are, as you describe, you need to use a Session. This has been the case ever since I started using C1 with v20. I don't know what it was like before then.
These two options work differently in some ways and have their own purposes with pros & cons. They are briefly explained on captureone.com > Get started > TUTORIALS: Importing & Organising. There are also many tutorials on youtube that try to explain the differences between them.
You can import the images with adjustments from the Catalog to a new Session by synchronising them.0 -
Cool, that is very helpful! I am going to test this later today.
I've been using Capture One for ages (started on version 3 or 4) and probably should have paid more attention during one of the earlier upgrades. I never noticed this before, probably because up until recently I've been moving mostly older directories around that I processed before I upgraded to v20.
Thanks for responding :)

No worries :-)
Yeh, it's easy to skip the technicalities (boring) when you're short of time and just wanna quickly get on with editing your photos (the fun part)0
