Disapearing settings?

Permanently deleted user
Hi, upgraded to CO7 yesterday.
Made a new session, imported 5DMark3 files form card and everything worked well.
Now I wanted to continue working.
I opened the session from yesterday and all settings i have done are gone! There are still .cof, cop. and .cos files,
but CO7 seems to have lost the path to them. Is there a way to reconnect these files?

My System: OSX (german) 10.6.8, 2x2.26 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon; 24GB RAM

    Create a new session and just open the folder trough C1 where your photos are... As long as you still have the file with the settings you are safe, provided of course it is not corrupted but in 6 years or more I never experienced that.

    Thank you, Benjamin,
    but it didn't help. The effect is the same as in the original session.
    I can access the image files, but they look as if they were freshly imported. All the settings are gone. I can't see which ones are already developped. Just the result of the batch renaming is still there. ☹️

    Arf sorry for you...

    Maybe you may try to unistall C1 but the clean way using Appdelete or similar software, the reboot your computer before reinstalling C1. The only "problem" is that you will loose your presets and your workspace...but I could save your job.

    Of course you still have Time Machine to recover your files with parameters (if recorded by Time Machine), but I guess you have already try this.

    Unfortunately I#m shooting with clients thesse days. Means: no time for deleting, installing, fiddling with software.
    So I will turn back to CO6 and try to save the rest of the job.

    I think this is the best possible approach at the moment. V7 is not yet stable enough for working in commercial environments.

    It is different for everyone... As far as I am concerned as long as I work with session and avoid catalog I have no problem.

    As always before upgrading you always have to check first if everything is ok for your work...it is true with software, cameras, lenses, flash, accessories...etc...etc...well it is called being professionnal 😉

    Hi Benjamin,

    I think you are right when it comes to environments where it is not a big issue when something does not do what it is meant for. As soon as it comes to big commercial projects I would never work with a fairly new software, just because the risk is too high that something goes wrong despite testing before. C1 7 works fine for me at the moment, however, I would not rely on it for a commercial project. This is of course just my own approach.

    if you are working on paid jobs - it is just safer to stay with current tested software like V6 until the expected bugs are worked out. i do not think Phase One beta tests on a scale like Photoshop (which I test for) so every release these things happen. I would like to beta test for C1P - but no one has asked.

    I tell my clients to not update anything until months after something comes out. yesterday on set I had to work on a mac someone updated to 10.7.5 so I had to dig around for the correct version of C1P that would work.

    Someone has to start using it on paid jobs! It seems to me there a too much non-pro beta-testers testing for phaseone.
    If you just do some pictures for fun, you will never experience the real weakness of the software.
    I blame myself for installing on this early moment. My phaseone experience over the last 10 years should have be warning enough.
