How can I tell the crop ratio applied?

Permanently deleted user
Once an variant has been cropped to a given aspect ratio, how can I come back later and easily tell what that aspect ratio is?

    That should be a fairly simple Applescript.

    A variant has the following properties:
    crop (rectangle) : The variant's crop rectangle {centerX, centerY, width, height}
    crop size (point) : The size of the crop in pixels {width, height}
    crop width (integer) : The width (in pixels) of the variant's crop
    crop height (integer) : The height (in pixels) of the variant's crop
    crop center (point) : The center of the crop in pixels {x, y} Bottom Left is the origin
    crop centerX (integer) : The horizontal center (in pixels) of the variant's crop (relative to Left edge)
    crop centerY (integer) : The vertical center (in pixels) of the variant's crop (relative to bottom edge)

    Hmm.

    Can AppleScript write to IPTC fields? Maybe "Instructions."

    Is there a way to automatically trigger an AppleScript within C1? Maybe the completion of a crop could trigger the AppleScript to calculate the aspect ratio and save it to the field?

    Yes, Applescript can tell Capture One 10 to write to most IPTC fields, including instructions, and the Advanced Search Window and the Filter tool can search by these fields.

    However, I haven't seen how an arbitrary Capture One Action can trigger an Applescript script.

    It's probably simpler write an Applescript to search for all variants with a certain aspect ratio (calculate them on the fly) and add them to the selection or put them into a smart folder, or write "Found" into an IPTC field.
