How to stop automatic startup

How do I stop Capture One from starting every time I put a card in the reader?

In Capture One Preferences, I have deselected "Open Importer when mounting removable media" and deselected all four camera "Providers".

    Hi there,

    slot a memory card into your Mac, ignore C1 opening. Then start the tool “Image Capture†(should be either in your Application folder or Applications/Utilities), select your card and edit the settings from “Automatically open in Capture One†to whatever application you prefer. Or “noneâ€, for that matter.

    Cheers,

    Thank you Sascha! That worked exactly as you instructed.

    Interesting thing... After doing it, I looked through Image Capture help, and all I could find about automatic app loading when a memory device is plugged in was how to fix it if it did NOT start automatically. I don't understand why Apple has made this "feature" so difficult to manage.

    “Image Capture†is sort-of a legacy application, originally meant for scanner support. I was quite surprised it’s still included even in Lion. Point is, by now (10.7), scanners are managed in the “Print & Scanâ€Â panel (formerly “Printersâ€), iPods/Phones/Pads in iTunes and/or iPhoto/Aperture, digital cameras in iPhoto or Aperture, too. (Or whatever other image management application you prefer.)

    Seems its quite deeply embedded in some framework or another, though. But I wouldn’t be surprised if Image Capture went the way of the dodo sooner or later.

    Cheers,

    that 'feature' was making me want to uninstall capture one!

    Just for the record, there is also a Phase One KB article on it:
