Change Open With behaviour on Export
What problem do you see this solving?
Changing how Open With option in export tab works with files by making it trigger only when whole export job is finished, instead of on every file exported. Similar to how Lightroom does it.
Why this is problem?
First of all in my general use case scenario I want to see the exported images in Photomechanic. "Open With" is triggered by every image it exports which makes it impossible to work in PM, because it tries to show me every image as it exports focussing PM to that tab.
Secondly, batch processing. I was experimenting with automated retouching droplets on exports awhile ago, but had to give up due to the way it works. Simply because Photoshop couldn't run droplet fast enough before next exported image would run the same droplet again, resulting in all of the images just open in PS with errors during droplet run. If only C1 export would run the droplet once when the whole export job is finished that would solve the issue.
Unlike C1, Lightroom triggers its Open With only once after export. I understand that some use cases would benefit from current Open With trigger, so best solution would be a switch either in export window (to set it separately for each recipe) or global preference allowing to choose when Open With triggers - on each image or after export is fully done.
When was the last time you were affected by this lack of functionality, or specific tool?
Every time I export with Open With, be that open with Photomechanic or Photoshop Droplet.
Are you using any workarounds or other solutions to achieve your goals in Capture One?
Currently the only work around is either not using this feature if I'm planning to use Photomechanic at the same time. Droplet use is just broken.
Are you happy to be contacted further about this suggestion or request?
Yes
