Problem with image export

Frank.O
Hi all,

new user migrating from Aperture here.
First of all this is CaptureOnePro 8.2.1.5 on Yosemite 10.10.2.
Yesterday I became pretty confused about CaptureOnePro when exporting images.
I wanted to export all 65 images from an album to a folder on my desktop. I created a new recipe and set everything up as desired.
    jepeg 100% quality
    sRGB
    scaling set to 1920 px at the long side
    output folder "2015 Daenemark" on my desktop
    name set to "Image date (yyyy-mm-dd hh.mm.ss)" via a token from the naming options


Naming example still says EmptyName.
I then clicked on process and the result was a folder "2015 Daenemark" on my desktop that contained images named "EmptyName 1.jpg, EmptyName 2.jpg, EmptyName 3.jpg..." and so on.

Today I wanted to double check that behaviour. I deleted yesterdays output folder and set everything up from scratch again, specifying an outputfolder named „Test“ on my desktop. Everything else the same as above.
After processing to my very big surprise the result was an empty folder "Test" and a newly created folder "2015 Daenemark" wich contained the images again with the naming all wrong.

I then reset the tool where the output folder is selected but the result was the same.

May be I am missing something obvious here but I coudn’t find out what it is.
Any help would be apreciated.

Best regards
Frank

p.s. I had taken screen captures to illustrate the problem but I coudn'find out how to attach them to my post.

    If i use the same token as you (Image Date (yyyy-MM-dd HH.mm.ss)) i get the same behaviour.

    For testing i set the token to: Image Year (yyyy)/Image Month (MM)/Image Day of Month (dd)/-/Image Time (HH)/Image Time (mm)/Image Time (ss)

    My images selected to export are named like this: yyyyMMdd-HHmmss.cr2

    ... and this worked! Hmmmmm....

    Got the same here. We should tell PO support.

    Thanks for your input.

    OK, when I create the same file name from single tokens it works. Seems to be only one token that doesn't.

    But there is still the issue that once an output folder is set I can't use a different one. I can select a different one and it is displayed properly in the settings but it will not be used for output. Only the folder that was first specified is used and if it isn't there anymore CO will create it.

    Best regards,
    Frank

    p.s. Any hint about the attachment thing? In the user control panel there is an option to manage attachments so it should be possible.

    I tried setting a different folder using the "OUTPUT LOCATION" tool, and it works just fine. Do you have a mismatch in "OUTPUT RECIPE" - "File" and "OUTPUT LOCATION"? "OUTPUT RECIPE" - "File" may overrule "OUTPUT LOCATION" settings if not set to "Output Location".

    To show an image here, you need to host it somewhere else, I think.
    Anybody out there who knows? Correct me if I'm wrong.

    Indeed that did the trick! Thank you so much Hans!

    You're welcome. 😄

    About the token:
    I didn't discover the bug myself, but filed a support ticket nevertheless. Just because I sometimes use this kind of file naming, too. PO already confirmed, it's fully reproducible. To be fixed...


    Best regards,
