Do I have to keep all the files in the Preview folder?
I suddenly couldn't open any files yestereday. The C1 LE keept sayin access denied to a lot of C1-P-file. I ended up deling all ofthem. Now Phase One works again. Ca I delete all the other files as well - those that are called * .work and those called jpg-long number-file ??

    Jens,

    The Preview files can always be rebuilt. If you have done a lot of image adjustments and don't want to lose these data, the .C1w files must be archived.
    Read on...
    Preview Cache:
    Upon installation you are asked to set the location of the Previews Cache.
    The default location is: C:\\Program Files\\Phase One\\Capture One PRO\\ Previews
    This cache contains the image Thumbnail or Work files .C1w and the Preview file .C1p
    The .C1w file contains all image adjustment data and is the file to be archived along with the RAW files in order for these settings to be preserved. Previews will be rebuilt upon loading a Session folder. They will also be rebuilt after reloading an archived file. Once the image settings are Restored from Archive (.C1w) files, the Previews will adjust according to the saved data.
    The location can be set at File > Preferences > Preview Cache tab And then choose location of the Previews cache - Choose Folder…
    This location can be set to a server, but is affected by Anti Virus or Firewall software, and make working and shutdown take longer.

    Files for All Sessions are kept in this location.
    The files remain there and any further adjustments are updated and saved. When a Session is removed from Capture One, they will need to be saved and archived.

    Clearing out the Preview Cache is good maintenance. Be sure to Archive and adjustment settings you want to keep. The .C1w files are only about 1K while the .C1p are much larger. And, if you browse JPEGs, these will create a jpg file in the Cache as well.

    Hope this helps.

    Sincerely,
    k c
