Shift + launching C1 - What is the idea?
A staff member suggested this combination: Press the Shift key while launching C1 to select a new session.
Indeed it would be very nice with such a short-cut. If this combination showed the total list of sessions to choose from, opening C1 with a specific session active would be possible directly from the Desk top.
Unfortunately the combination doesn’t work in such a smooth way.
First a small Win-window wants to know in which folder the C1 files are stored. I point at “Imagesâ€, and then C1’s window Recent Sessions pops up - not showing a total list but the last five sessions used. I have hundreds of sessions, and the one I want to open has not been used for a while.
It is not on the list.
From the Recent Session window I have the following options:
New Session, Open Session, Open (greyed out while no session is marked) or Quit.
This is already boring, but to have C1 opened at all, I choose a session from the list and click the Open Session button.
This is not opening C1. In stead a new Win-window opens showing the last folder and session used.
I have achieved nothing by using the Shift + launch option, I still have to look up and open the folder with the .col50 file in the file system as usual.
Have I missed a smart way to open C1?

You could use windows explorer to navigate to where your session file is stored, then double click on it, and C1 will open with that session. 0 -
Thank you, Karen - that's what I am forced to do now.
The real beauty would be in this:
Holding the Shift key down (or another key) while you clicked the C1 icon should open a list with all your sessions (sorted as prefered) - just like the Recent Session window does now (unfortunately second after Windows) - and you could choose the session you wanted to be ready in C1. AND! of course.. the selection of a session from the "Session window" should NOT send you back to Windows to click a .col50 file in the file system - as it works now.
So, Shift-click icon + select a session from the list + Enter - and C1 should open your Chosen Session with images from the Caption folder loaded. Windows should NOT be visible in the foreground at all.
It was Drew himself that halfways described the Shift + launch combination in another thread, but he might be busy with important error handling.0 -
Drew wrote this in the tread Missing Capture One Sessionfile .col50++ : In that case it would seem your Preference file isn't looking in the right spot for the new session.
When you launch Capture One hold down SHIFT and select the new session.
What is the gain with this key-combination, Shift + launch C1, when "selecting the new session" does nothing else but open a window to the file system?
Please read the first post about what happens in Win 7.0 -
I did not introduce the combination Shift + launch C1 - Drew did!
I just want an explanation. What is the gain?0
