Cross Recipe Tokens tool

The new Cross Recipe Tokens tool is introduced with the release of Capture One 21 (14.4.0). This tool has been added to the Export tools and allows you to define the contents of the Subfolder token and the Job Name token, which are used in the Location Tool and in the Naming Tool.

The Cross Recipe Tokens tool is placed under Export Recipes in the unscrollable area and you can see it only if you tick the option ‘Show all options’ in the Export dialog.

If you are using the Subfolder/Job name token in your recipes and want to change the token content for all the recipes you can do so using the Cross Recipe Tokens tool instead of going through each recipe and changing the contents. To do this, please follow the guide below:

For Job name token content

1. Go to the Export icon.
   
2. Select the Naming tool.
   
3. Select the Naming Format dialog by clicking on the (…) icon next to the Format field and select Job name token.
   
4. Click OK to accept the changes.

5. Go to the Cross Recipe Tokens tool and enter the name directly in the Job Name field.
   Now the Job Name token content is similar for all recipes.

6. Now, if you want to change the token content across all your recipes you only need to change it in the Cross Recipe Tokens tool.

For Subfolder token content

1. Go to the Export icon.
   
2. Select the Location tool.
   
3. Select the Naming Format dialog by clicking on the (…) icon next to the Subfolder field and select Subfolder token.
   
4. Click OK to accept the changes.

5. Go to the Cross Recipe Tokens tool and enter the name directly in the Subfolder field.
   Now the Subfolder token content is similar for all recipes.

6. Now, if you want to change the token content across all your recipes you only need to change it in the Cross Recipe Tokens tool.

Please keep in mind that the tokens in the Cross Recipe Tokens tool are constant across all recipes, and if the content of one recipe is different from the other, this tool should not be used.
