LCC menu clutter

Permanently deleted user
Hi,

Having looked through the forum I can't find the exact answer to my query.
The LCC menu is getting totally full of lcc files and is slowing down the work flow. Having to navigate to the last lcc file in the list when you've got hundreds is annoying. I want to clear the old lcc files from the list.
If I delete all the lcc files from the library (in order to empty my lcc menu), does this affect the lcc calibration of the image files associated with those deleted lcc files?

    Interesting question. Without trying and testing I would say 'Yes'. Since you know how to manage (and clean up) your LCC collection, why not try this at home?

    so potentially it means that by deleting the old lcc files to tidy the list up, if you wanted to go back and re-process a whole set of older images, you would have to re-analyze the lcc shots in order for the image files to be lcc calibrated?

    That is my assumption based on the fact that the LCC analyze is incorporated during processing. However, when it is incorporated into the settings file after analyzing, you are save to delete it later. Testing should reveal the truth, and nothing but the truth...

    ok, I have tested. It appears that if you delete the lcc file from the said location, then you lose the lcc calibration on an associated image file.

    This conclusion seems to me to point to a flaw in the system workflow. I should be able to clear the lcc menu list without losing the calibration setting for older images. I also shouldn't have to trawl through a huge list of lcc names to reach a current analysed lcc shot. There is quite significant slowdown in the program because of the number of lcc files in the list, compared to when it is empty.

    Would you not agree? can anything be done? perhaps the creation of folders for each shoot/job containing relevant lcc files could done in the list rather than just having a long list of individual files, thereby you can then remove folders and/or load them when needed.

    Nick, actually you don't lose it. The LCC itself is stored within the respective raw folder (in the folder "capture one" -> "settings45"). So if you delete the presets in the list (from the folder ~/Library/Application Support/Capture One/LCC Profiles) however the actual LCC data are stored (in the folder containing the raw files/the session -> capture one/settings45).
    Sole issue here is that you can't apply the same preset to another image (but why would you want to delete it then).
