Capture Folder

I like to use Sessions and they seem to work very well. I import images into the C1 Session's Capture Folder and then move out of Library into one of the production areas like Exposure, Color and so forth. I can go back to Library and my images are still in the Capture Folder.

So far so good.

Let's say a few days have gone by and I've created and worked on other Sessions. Then I want to go back to that first session. I find and open it in Library but there's nothing at all in that Sessions Capture Folder. The images seem to have migrated to the Sessions Albums/All Images. I would prefer to have everything left where they were.

Is this something that can be done? Or am I missing something that's fundamental?

  Albums and smart albums are just virtual collections of images and some are automatically created on import. So images are referenced here and not really moved. In fact images don't move unless you move them somewhere else. So I can't say why you can't find them (maybe you've put them in subfolders? Did you choose to add them to the Selects folder?) but to know their actual position, choose All images album, right-click an image or a preview in the browser and choose "show in library" to find it in the library folder tree (and eventually check that that folder is properly set as Capture folder) or "show in Explorer" to open its folder in Windows.

  Some good trouble shooting advice there. May I suggest another thing: check filtering. I have done this to my self before. Check the filtering panel under the Library panel. If there is a selection for filtering by keyword or star rating that yields no images to display that would explain the apparently empty capture folder. I have done it before and cleared the orange circle selections from the Filter an then see my images again.
