Stopping the generation of preview files...

I want to stop the image preview generation because for about a year I have used C1 and wasn't aware of the option to archive the work files to the directory in which the RAW files reside. See this link: .

I usually delete the image previews after a while and just want to keep the work files along with the RAW files for archival purposes. So, I need to open the project and export the work files to the directory in which the RAW files reside and that's it. The problem is that it becomes very slow when the image previews are being generated at the same time. Make sense?

I'm also forgetting how to open C1 so NO collections show at all...I read it here somewhere.

Thanks for your help!!

  When starting hold down the right shift key until the software loads. This works for me.

  My first post and a query. Can you make the raw file settings archive folder default to the same folder as the Raw files themselves? This would mean that when you archived the raw folder you would automatically archive the work files too. 🙄

  NGILPHOT,
  
  Yes, you sure can. This makes archiving as simple as can be.
  Please review the Tips & Tricks article SAVE RAW FILE SETTINGS regarding this issue.

  Thanks Keith for the reply but can you make C1 always save the work files in the same folder as the Raws - without having to manually do it for each session?? ❓

  NGILPHOT,
  
  No, these files have a default location.
  The Thumbnail / Work files are tagged .C1w and are established and saved along with the Preview files [ .C1p ] within C:\\Program Files \\ Phase ONE \\ Capture One PRO \\ Previews 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/ archived.
  The icon Delete the active collection removes the tab only and does not remove the folder of RAW images from their location. When actually removing RAW files for archiving a job to a server location, i.e. external hard drive, CD, DVD etc. is when you have to archive the .C1w files if all the image adjustment settings are to be saved. Yes, archiving/saving to the same RAW folder is best practice.
  
  Sincerely,
  k c
