Remove Built-in Presets and Styles Possible?

David Brown

Is it possible to remove all the built-in Presets and Styles? They are not useful to me and, the Presets in particular, just clutter the menus.

    Just make a custom workspace without Styles in the toolbar, and no Styles tab or tool in the various tabs. I don't know of any way to remove the Styles item from the drop-down menu, if that's what you want. But it's easy to eliminate from the rest of the UI.

    Abbott, thank you for the idea. The Presets which appear in the "three-bar" menu of the individual tools bother me the most. I have been removing the two folders Capture One.app/Contents/Resources/Presets60 and Capture One.app/Contents/Resources/Styles, which works well. They need to be removed each time the application is updated and installed, which is a minor nuisance.

    David, your issue is different from what I was referring to. Thanks, though, for clarifying, as your info might help me later.

    Would your issue be resolved by making it such that you don't need to go to the "hamburger" menus in tools? (I think I heard David Grover refer to that menu in that way.)

    Looking through my tools, all I see in that menu is factory presets and the ability to save presets. As you noted, those items are built into C1 and get replaced with each new version. It also seems to me that these haven't been changed or updated in quite a while, although I may be wrong about that.

    Idea: copy the presets you use to your account's Presets60 and Styles folders (on a Mac, ~/Library/Application Support/Capture One/Presets60 (similar for Styles). Within those folders you could create (for example) folders for Capture One Standard presets and styles. Then you'd have access to both stock and custom presets from the same menu item.

    At that point, just forget about the hamburger menu unless you want to make a new preset. And of course those will go into the appropriate ~/Library subfolder.

    Would that work for you?

    I appreciate the suggestion. I obtain the result I want by removing the two folders described in my prior post. The only downside is needing to remove them whenever Capture One is updated. It is a minor inconvenience. I wrote my original question in hopes that there was something, such as a hidden preference setting, which would eliminate needing to do so. It was, admittedly, a long shot.
