non image files not displaying in C1

HI,

I am using a catalog in C1 21 for HDR stitched panoramas using PTGui and Affinity Photo. The catalog does not show these files (.pts &.afphoto) exist in the folders. I have to leave C1 catalog and use the finder to see if these file exist and or open them.

Whilst I am not expecting to C1 to support multiple file types it would be good if C1 could show that the files exist if not open them in their respective applications. Bridge does this, showing a file icon and filename.

Am I missing a simple way to show non photo files that exist in the folders. 

I am unable to use a C1 catalog as a hub to control the panorama workflow.

Any suggestions for a work around?

thanks

R

  You don’t miss anything, C1P doesn’t do that. One option for you to save as DNG or TIFF. Otherwise you are out of luck.

  Any output generated from images in a catalog will not show up in the catalog until you import them back into the catalog.  Sessions or better suited for processing images and having them appear in the selected output folder (e.g. Capture or Output) immediately without importing them.. C1 cannot translate contents of a .afphoto file so you will not see them in C1 or as a choice to import.  If you want to see the affinity results in C1, export from affinity photo as tiff (for lots of data), jpeg, png, or psd if you have Photoshop.  I was playing around with Affinity Photo to see what filetypes I could send back to C1.  Hope this helps

  Thanks for the comments.

  Seems a bit frustrating that C1 won't even show the files exist. Don't necessarily want to process the files with C1 but just know they are there.

  Shame I can't use C1 as cataloging hub.
