How to make Capture one not create settings folders?
I'm using Capture one to export psd to jpeg. But every time I click on a folder in capture one Library, a settings-folder is created, which can be seen in finder etc., without me making any changes to the files in Capture one. This is very annoying in this work flow.
I have to go to bridge or finder and remove this folder. Which is ok if it's just one time, but this feature generates a lot of new settings-folders. So it becomes very time consuming.
I'm trying to find a deactivator for this in Capture one settings without any luck.
Does anyone have the same problem? Or knows a workaround for this problem?

Session or catalog? Sessions are by default localized, which means that doing work in any location implies creating a set of internal files required for operation of Capture One, like settings or previews for files in this location. Catalogs are supposed to be self-contained in contrary, so maybe that's the way to go?
Another resolution could be a session, where you don't search for source folders explicitly, but instead you hardlink images in question to its Capture folder, work, unlink. Original locations are unaffected.

I don't think any changes would come from your "request", as it is more of a question, so can you please move it to an appropriate section?

One session and then selecting folders I want to export.
And I understand that they need to have the settings local to the folder you work in. But I'm just selecting the images through Library, and hitting export, so I am wondering what settings they need to save locally for that..?Thats a great suggestion, I will try that and see! 🙏

Do you mean the CaptureOne folder that gets created? That folder contains settings AND previews / thumbnails (in the Cache subfolder). It is creating previews so it creates the CaptureOne folder in which to store them.
