Recent Imports List
I've just started using Capture One. I have imported pictures from both folders on the hard drive and camera memory cards. Each time C1 creates an entry in the Recent Imports list. As I work, I move the keepers to certain folders on the HD and delete the rest. I've ended up with this list of Recent Imports that have zero pictures in them. The list is getting longer and longer. I can find no way to delete these dated entries or clear the list. Any information or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Do you see a "Clear Menu" option at the bottom of the List Window?
I think that is the only way other than diving into the depths of some system files.

Grant, are you guessing about this? :-)
James, what if you first offload your card to the file system, import all images, and after culling move the keepers using the library tool (drag and drop) to their final destination. Delete from disk the others.
This way the recent import collection keeps its references to the keeper images, as well as the previews, thumbnails, adjustments, color tags and ratings etc

I'm having the same problem: Multiple folders—C1 uses the Album icon for these—appear under Recent Imports with 'zero' images. These ghost import folders take up valuable space in the library, and there is no way to delete them. Right-clicking the import album displays a grayed-out 'delete' function.
I use a referenced catalog. So all images are located on my network attached server.
Looks like a bug to me. If images = 0 in a recent import album, then you should be able to delete it.

I've used C1 long enough now to realize that the Recent Imports list only displays the 10 most recent. Yes, there are entries with zero photos, but I can live with that. My concern was that I didn't know how long the list would get. After importing and moving the keepers and deleting the rest, I can click the little triangle and keep the list closed as I work from the folders.
Thanks everyone for replying to help me out. I will be experimenting with some other ways of importing, including what BeO suggested. Capture One is a very capable program and I think I'll be learning it by experimentation. Yesterday after spending 30 minutes reading C1 help and watching some YouTube videos, I finally found the trick to change the Crop Mask from landscape to portrait. Not quite as easy as pressing the X key in Lightroom.

James—Good info, as I did not realize that C1 only retained the 10-most recent import sessions. Just never paid attention to it.
I have submitted a ticket with support. If they resolve it I will post info back here.
Cheers,

Karl Buhl - Actually, I'm happy that C1 only displays the 10 most recent import sessions. I wouldn't want the list to remember all my imports from day one. (Not without the ability to clear it myself) Ten is a good number. If I had used the program for a longer time, I would have figured it out that the list only goes to ten and then I would never have asked the question in the first place. I'm pleased that people responded quickly to my concern.

Hi everyone,
I've been using CO11 and CO20 for the last year or so. My 'Recent Imports' list keeps growing and growing in length, now with hundreds of entries and 1000's of images dating back to last October! It's supposed to show only the 10 most recent importds and I cannot see any way to delete or otherwise modify this list which is now so long as to be useless.
Anyone have an idea as to how the resolve this?
Thanks in advance.

I use CO20 and I had the same problem of the ever growing 'Recent Imports' list. Here is my work-around. Select one of the folders on the 'Recent Imports' list. Select an image, right click to pull up the menu, and select 'Show in Library'. Make a note of that Library location. Now drag that image out of its Recent Imports folder and drop it in to the trash. (This also deletes it from it location in the library). Select the trash. You will see the image. Now drag that image in to its proper Library location. I usually select all of the images in an Recent Import folder, move them into the trash and then from the trash to their Library location (because they usually are all going to the same destination folder). Once you have removed all of the images from a Recent Imports folder, the folder goes away.

Louis, Thanks for your work-around tip. It does work. I'd like to know why the images in the 'Recent Imports" list remain in the 'Recent Imports" list when I move them to another folder in my C1 catalog as I'd like to eliminate the need for this time consuming work-around.
