    Hello, I'm a new user trying beta. I failed to wrap my head around the first step with COP. Actually it's a pain for me. The catalog mode doesn't look appealing to me because it doesn't peak up new images by "Syncronize..." button. Then I'm trying to start a new Session. It takes some time to make it see where is the Capture folder, because I don't want the default but the root folder itself. I want to use it like this:

    YYYY.mm.dd/FILE000.NEF (here are the input files and all the other staff COP makes, but for some reason COP wants the Capture folder in any way.)
    YYYY.mm.dd/Selects
    ...


    You can do this for sure. I have a template setup for my sessions that do something similar. In my case I have the selects folder as '.' and the capture folder as 'Capture'. My reason for doing this is so that if you look at the toplevel YYYY.mm.dd <jobName> folder you will see selects right away.

    I am not in front of my editing computer but if you create a new session you can select a top level directory and various sub directories. In you case put '.' for capture and 'Selects' for selects. Then the session will use the top level YYYY.mm.dd directory for the capture folder.

    After some failed attempts I want to recreate my session. But where is the button "End session" or "Remove session, I've done with it"? Why I can't change Capture folder during the session unless the folder not found? All the tutorials doesn't explain the bare logic of this. The whole approach looks very rigid to me.☹️((


    I am confused about what you want here.

    You can start a new session at any time by using the File | New Session... command. If you create a template based on the above settings you can then just pick a root directory, a session name and the template and go.

    If you want to delete a session then just close C1 and delete it. If you delete the hole folder the images go too but if you just delete the *.cosessiondb file then you just delete the C1 session.
