move/trash folder
can I just move the contents of my trash folder to an outboard SSD without creating problems with C-1? It's where my raw files are stored but it's getting too big. Also where is it located? I can't find it outside of C-1. Thanks!

Basically, why do you want to move the trash contents and don't empty it when you've already sorted that images out ?
Do you work with a catalog or in sessions? In the catalog there is no separate folder in the file system, here database entries get marked and the record (with the image file, if you choose "Delete from disk..") is deleted.
I use sessions only randomly, but know that in a session folder structure there is a trash subfolder in the file system, that's path seems is not changeable in C1. I guess you have to create a new folder in the file system and add it to the session favorites as trash. Maybe a session expert can explain this better.0 -
Thanks, I use sessions. I've been storing my images on my computer & i need to free up space.

Well, the question remains: Why don't you empty the trash and free the disk space this way?

because that's where my raw files are in case I want to go back & re-edit them. Where do you keep raw files?

Well, there are a number of things you can do.
(1) In a session, you can drag the images from the trash to any folder on your computer or on an external drive that you choose. Do it using the Capture One library tool not Windows File Explorer, and Capture One will still know where they are and will move with them edits you have made If any).
(2) In answer to the question "where do you keep raw files"
- Images that I know are keepers get moved from the Capture folder of my sessions to the Selects folder.
- Images that I know are not worth keeping go in the session trash - and after an interval to allow for second thoughts, the trash gets emptied. (These are files that really don't need keeping for any reason - for instance where I have two very similar shots, but one is not as sharply focused as the other, why keep the soft one?) I usually have one last check through the Trash before emptying it, to guard against mistakes.
- Images that I may want to keep stay in the Capture folder, as you say in case I want to go back and re-edit them. If I may want to revisit them, they don't go in Trash. But depending on what the session had in it, I sometimes make sure that the Capture folder gets emptied, either by moving images I may want again to Selects, or by deleting them to Trash.
So that in effect uses the standard session folders for what they were intended.
There is one other thing that I do, though.
- Once I have finished work on a session (for now at least) the Selects get added to my master catalog. If I have some doubt about whether some of the images still in Capture (if there are any) should have been selected, I put them in Selects. The Capture folder images (and the Trash folder images, obviously) don't get added to the catalog. After some time, (maybe six months) if I have not wanted to touch any of the images that were left in Capture, I delete them to save space. If I didn't want them in 6 months, I probably won't ever need them. (And remember that if in doubt, they went to Selects. And in an emergency, I could restore them from a system backup anyway.)
A method that works for me, anyway.

Thanks Ian, that was excellent. I need to study it more & it should solve the problem.
