select multiple folders / albums / collections
Not currently planned
Recursive view and multiple selection
Capture One is a great program, but it makes me lose hours, HOURS, of life for trivial things.
I do jobs where I deal with hundreds of products, I need to subdivide these products into folders (of the file system, I need them to be subdivided also in the Explorer of the operating system).
I need to select a folder to recursively see all the photos it contains. Because missing this possibility I waste hours creating ridiculous custom filters to see the photos I need.
I also have the extreme need to be able to select multiple folders, if I select two folders I must be able to see all the photos they contain (including subfolders), and above all I need to be able to make a multiple selection because it is indispensable when moving files.
Yesterday I lost 10 minutes of time to move one by one 200 folders to another folder, all this because I could not select them at once and move them.
It's really frustrating for me, I want to get away from Lightroom to use only your software but these ridiculous technical limitations make me waste a lot of time and money.

In every operating system I know, namely windows and macos, there is a standard procedure for multiple selections: you control/command click files or folders for non contiguous selections, or you shift click for continuous file selection. Be it folders, files, images, whatever. It's basic suff, for years. Nothing special, nothing new, nothing extreme.
It bugs me and I tear my hair of trying to understand why this feature or shortcut is not available is Capture 1, pro and all. I have to use other software to move folders from one place to the other, to delete a group of folders, without having to perform this sophisticated task one by one. The folder handling in Capture One is lacking things that we take for granted basically everywhere else.While I don't see the rationale for not having this in place in the current version, I find odd (and really don't ger it, as a photographer or in a developer point of view) and surprising that this humble but essential feature is not in the radar for future release.
If someone would like to explain and justify, in a simple and objective way, why this is so, I would much like to hear.
Thank you, have a nice weekend.

Hi Artur Nunes, I just wanted to clarify that "not currently planned" means it is not something that we are working on at the moment.
Everything that is on this forum is "on the radar" for future releases, but until we make the decision to actively work on the specific request, it's not planned.

Thank you Mathieu B for your answer, I was not aware what "not currently planned" meant.
It's just that these multiple selection gestures or shortcuts are so common that I didn't understand why it still not standard in CO1, which always had lots of customisation, multiple gestures and keyboard shortcuts.
Maybe your user base is not that much concerned with this omission.
Anyway, if it's "on the radar" for future releases, I will keep hoping and wishing that future is not very far.
Thank you.
