Session Output folder corrupted.

Robert Goldstein

In one of my Sessions, the Output folder will not open. I know that it contains image files, because I can see them in the Finder. All the other folders in that Session function normally. How can I fix this?

Thanks,

Rob

    Maybe Finder and Capture One do not look in the same place, I mean in the same folder on disk?

    If I remember this correctly (I'm no longer a user), the "Session Folders" are not really disk folders, they are links to disk folders. A default session indeed has 4 folders on disk, those real folders have names confusingly similar to names in the "Session Folders" section. And, by default, each session folder link points to the similarly named folder on disk. But you can change a link to point or refer to any folder on disk. 

    I never used a Mac, but a Windows user can right click on any Session Folder and select "Show in Explorer" to learn where, meaning disk folder, that link is actually pointing to. The Windows user can also right click on a disk folder shown under System Folders and select Set As XYZ Folder where XYZ is a placeholder for one of the four Session Folder links. Did you set the Output Folder link to point or refer to a folder on external storage (disk, memory stick,...) and subsequently remove that disk, or take it off line? If you did, Capture One can no longer find the folder the Output Folder link points to, and it should display that warning triangle.

    Notice the Triangle with exclamation point to the right of the Output folder. That says there is no assigned Output folder.

    Scroll down the left sidebar to the System Folders area and navigate to the Session folder for this session. Look inside and see if there is an Output folder.

    • If Output exists, right-click it and "Set as Output Folder".
    • If Output does not exist, right-click the parent session folder and select New > Folder and create a folder called Output.

    That should make the Session well again and the triangle should go away.

    Easy peasy. That worked. Thanks very much.
