Sessions: automatically created or way to turn off
Hi community!
We have uses Capture One Pro 3.7 a few years now. We needed to upgrade to 4.5 due to missing support for the Nikon D700 in 3.7.
We used to copy all image files in a seperate folder for each customer. Then correct, delete unwanted pictures, develop to a subfolder.
With CO 4.5 now on start, it has some default trash folder somewhere in "my documents". I found out that i have to create a session first, specifing its location (so i select the customer folder).
So here's my question: is there any way to automatically create a session as i click on a customer-folder, within the customer folder? Basically I just want back the old way it worked.
Regards,
Othmar

Well, if you don't want to use the sessions, you just neglect it. You will work in the 'default session' as it was named in the past.
From your post I got the impression that you did not use sessions in CO 3.7 Pro in the past. CO 4.5 Pro works the same way. Open the folders, organized per customer, and work your way through it.0 -
Having just a default session it always uses the same directory for trashing images. The old behaviour renaming them to *.trashed was so nice. For us we found it the most convinient way just to delete them afterwards.
Working with 4.5 a couple of days now I can say that every click or action you do takes more time than in 3.7. Especially if you work on multiple computers.
Having a network-path for the preview files just was perfect on our workflow.
- Click on the customer folder
- Wait for thumbs to be created
- adjust
- open C1 on another computer for customers to select and trash
- tell them that by the click on that button above makes a B/W-preview as well that we can recover trashed images
- develop to the develops subfolder automatically created in the customers-folder
- close C1
- edit in ps
- print out pictures, delete the *.trashed files, create an archive CD/DVD
- job is done
Now with the sessions-system, folders are created everywhere on all harddiscs on all computers. A complex B/W preview system through "styles", plus the need to buy a license just to slide the adjustment levers (installed it without licensing and turned the date to december and back, to see what happens). In 3.7 only developing required a license code.
Conclusion: Harder to mange, slower to adjust, process and manage, not user-friendly.
...Hate to say this, but this release is real disappointment. Just add camera-support for 3.7 and I'll be happy again.0
