Change image settings with Applescript

Basstruc
Hi All,
Does anyone know if it is possible to change image setting (exposure, saturation, ect...) with applescript?
I don't see any way to do that in the C1 Applescript dictionnary.
Thanks

    In the past I have written and used scripts that manipulate the settings file so as to be able to process multiple versions of a file etc. The downside is that text manipulation in AS is kinda basic and if Phase changes the formatting of the .cos file then the script will need re-writing. Its definitely possible though.

    Thanks Rap_digital,
    I also thought about modifying the cos file with AS. The problem, correct me if I'm wrong, is that the file is not writable when the file is beeing read by C1.
    I was more asking if there was any variable in AS or anything else that would be like:
    ExposureSetting (read/write)
    ContrastSetting (read/write)
    ...
    in a live way.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,

    BTW, I tried with keyboard shortcuts but it's way too slow (when it works).

    Yeah you can only edit the cos files when Capture is not open. No calls can be made like you are talking about. Could you use styles?

    Style? You mean in a regular way? Not for what I wanted to do, unfortunatly. I'm not in front of my mac but I think styles are not "callable" by AS neither.
    I also asked support, they only answered that I should look at their SDK. From what I understood, the Phase One SDK is only for Digital Backs. When I answered, I didn't got any answer back (I own 16 licences....).
    Capture One should defenitly take exemple on Adobe's scripting policy. All their settings (plus more) are scriptable in 3 different languages. C1 is a professional tool, so Phase one should understand that some of us need extensive scripting abilities for batch processing or customization.

    Rap,
    I'm a bit curious. How did you achieve the AutoCA app? With the hidden click function?

    Its basically UI scripting you can use an app like http://pfiddlesoft.com/uibrowser/ to find Ui elements. Works sometimes but it seems as though different installation call the same element different things. AutoCA worked on about as many machines as it didnt work on 😊 If I can find the code I'll post it.

    Actually, Auto_CA app was not working on my machines. Thanks Rap, I'll take a look at UI scripting.
