Processed files showing up in session.

Joshua111
Hey all,
Hoping someone may have a solve in here. Whenever I process out files in C1 V12 they show up in my session. Trying to avoid this. All raws are packed as EIPs. I process, then I see the tiff or jpeg as well that I just created. Effectively doubling the number of images in my session if I process everything as jpegs for instance.
Thanks in advance.

    Sounds like you have the process set to output to the same folder as the original.

    Useful if you are going to do further work with another application - photoshop for example - but not so good if you just want the output to be help separately.

    Check your output recipe(s) carefully to see where they are intending to put things and also check the overall "Output Location" tool.

    If you are still puzzled about what is happening after that post back with the information you are seeing (in some detail) and people will try to offer some specific guidance.

    HTH.

    Thanks Grant! But nope.
    Always going to the output folder and usually a sub folder like "quickproof" or "high res" or something.
    Any other info you think might be helpful?

    Isn't that how sessions work? There is an Output folder into which processed files go. (When I first started using a Catalog having only used sessions previously, I was surprised to discover that in a catalog processed files don't automatically appear in the catalog like I was used to with a session.)

    If your Output folder (the folder address 'on disk') and/or its subfolders are set up as favourites or accessed through C1 then the session will added them to the folders containing files that you are interested in.

    If they have been made Favourites they are registered as folder directly of interest to the session in the future.

    If you have not made them favourites I would not expect them to re-appear if you close the session and then re-open it.

    Moreover they would only appear as duplicates (I think) if you opened the virtual "All Images" folder or had them added to an album of some sort.

    So those are more points that are quick to check and experiment with.

    If it's not that then we may be on the edge of a long and overly random exchange of ideas which I guess you would like to avoid. So I would suggest creating a Support Case and having a member of the Support Team make some suggestions and maybe walk through things with you if possible.

    Being a Windows rather than a Mac user I am aware that different types of strange things can happen with each system even when functionality is, on the surface, the same. So you may just possibly be seeing some sort of anomaly that I would not be aware of although I don't recall anything similar coming up in discussions previously that was not discovered to be folder location related.

    (Presumably you are not unknowingly running a process recipe that is dumping unwanted files back in the original file folder? I have to ask - it's a basic question. Basic questions should always be asked in my experience.)

    Thanks Grant,
    Revisiting this because its begun happening again.
    I have a folder on a totally different drive, within the Pictures folder, that I use to dump favorite shots, sized to post online. I'm viewing all my images using the "All Images" Session Album, which should be a reflection of all the folders within Favorites. This process folder is not in the favorites. Yet now, every image in that folder is now appearing in my session. This will greatly impact my workflow, potentially causing me to deliver images that have nothing to do with the current job/session at hand.
    I think I'll follow your advice and open a support ticket.
    Cheers!

    Update.
    As a work around, I selected View/Global Filters/Always Hide JPEG files and Always Hide Processed Tiff Files.

    Works for my purposes.

    If you open the folder with the outputs in the active session it will be "known" to the session for as long as it is open. In such a situation it does not have to be listed as a "favourite" folder.

    If you wanted to open that folder every time you close and re-open the session THEN it would need to be a "favourite".

    Obviously I am guessing here and it's not the way I use the Output processing. I normally use the links from the process recipe tool tab to open the output folder in the system browser (I'm using Windows but I think it is basically the same for Mac) and then view the images in a default browser (Faststone usually in my case) to check if they are indeed as expected.

    If my guess is correct and you have browsed to the folder via your C1 session, C1 will see the output images as editable files. In that case in the folder alongside the images you would find the Settings and Cache folders related to the rest to the edit process for the files in the folder (or at least the files that were there the last time C1 accessed the folder when being used for editing ...

    If you close and re-open the session I would expect that the images would not appear (therefore no need to hide jpgs, etc.) UNLESS you choose to open the folder from within the session using Capture One.

    If that sounds puzzling and needs further explanation we can do that but first lets see if my guess is correct - if not I will waste a lost of time writing something and you will be probably be very puzzled by what I would write!

    Could you please navigate your C1 browser and select one processed image that in your opinion should not appear in the session and let us know in which session folder or album the image appears. My guess is that you are always referring to the session album "All Images", but I would like to know for sure (expressions like "appearing in my session" are ambiguous to me).

    Right click an image that you think should not appear and select "Show in Finder" (assuming you use a Mac). Let us know the full path of that image file (the file's path on disk, that is).

    On my Windows 10 system I believe images corresponding to image files located in the disk folder pointed to by the session's "Capture Folder", in the disk folder pointed to by the session's "Selects Folder" and in the disk folder pointed to by the session's "Output Location" all appear in my session's smart album All Images (image files in sub folders of those three disk folders are not included, I need to use Session Favorite for those)
