Keep images in camera when shooting tethered
Implemented
I would love to be able to keep images in the camera CF card when shooting tethered.
Currently when shooting tethered the software deletes the images from the camera and loads them into the computer. I don't fully trust the cables during tethering, things can go wrong, so I would like the option to keep image files on the camera while shooting tethered. Thank you.

Alexandre,
Historically the idea of full tethering is that C1 provides full control of the camera and allows you to use your own naming and folder structures on the shoot. That means the in camera cards would not work and the options provided by the camera manufacturer did not allow for writing to in camera cards in that situation.
The "Hot folder" option is a way of saving to the Camera storage AND another drive on the computer at the same time and then have C1 monitor the designated folder for new files arriving so that it can offer instant editing ability. That maybe what you want.
Recently some camera form some manufacturers - Sony and Fuji as I recall - had provided settings in the camera that allow them to link to both their internal storage and an external storage using an external editor (C1) at the same time. Whether the camera offers the connection type required is a matter fo the camera manufacturer.
If you have not got one of those cameras I would suggest you consider the "Hot Folder" option.
If you still want to use the full C1 controlled tethering option then you might want to investigate options for improving cable performance and security.
HTH.

This issue has made me uncomfortable for some time. Shooting tethered and having the images only on the computer but not on the card is an issue. I truly prefer more security, more back up options. A hot folder just puts the images in another file on the same computer. I find this the one and only unsatisfactory thing about C1.
