Bring back the Output Panel!
Implemented
14.3.0
"Output Tool Tab removed
The Output Tool Tab has been removed and all its content has been moved into the new Exporter. This Exporter is accessible from the Export icon in the main tool bar, or by right-clicking the selected image(s) and clicking ‘Export > Export…’. "Batch Queue removed
The Batch Queue and Process History has been removed.
Sub Name and Job Name removed
The tokens ‘Sub Name’ and ‘Job Name’ have been removed, as export location and naming are now recipe specific.
This is 100% unacceptable for working professional digital techs and makes no sense why it was removed... It destroys the workflow we have all established for years and ruins our ability to work quickly. We rely heavily on having processing/exporting as a panel so we can continue other work and modify recipes while other work is happening.
You need to communicate with the real working professionals that use this software daily that keep the commercial advertising, editorial and e-commerce worlds going before making changes like this.
There no reason the developers can't make it an option to hide/show the output panel while still having the new feature exist in the Exporter.

OK, seriously. We need the Output Panel back... Why not just give us the option to keep the tool? Why get rid of it all together? Please help me create a new process recipe. I can't find it anywhere.

What progress has been done with this? What can I do, I have mistakenly updated C1 to 14.3.0 and I can't for the life of me use C1 in any efficient way without the process tab. I have spent two weeks editing 8tb of files and is been a nightmare. Now Capture one is no better than Lightroom...
Is there a way to make a updated session work in an earlier version of C1 besides remaking an older session and dragging the files into it?

I could care less about having an export tab but having to reset the name and output location for each recipe is a huge waste of time. Please bring it back.

New export window is a huge chokepoint on a formerly streamlined system. It's embarrassing as a Digi Tech when you've got photographers, clients and agency looking over your shoulder while your managing incoming tethered files and building storyboards and dropping files into layouts and backing up, just to have Capture One throw a wrench into the middle of everything with a stupid extra export window. Not cool. Like a circa 2010 website that opens new windows every time you click on an image....... that trend died out for a very good reason.

Reuben. Download latest update. Export tab is back. :)

Used Captureone more years than I like to remember, but this is a game changer. Found the old tab but still can't find a simple process button for the tool bar, am I just missing it in the fog!

There is a button. It’s called now Export. In the Export Recipes tab.
0 -
Yes but that just seems to open the export window - more clicks in the day! I've got around it by opening a floating export recipe window which has a button which does the same as the old process button. Clunky but I can now get back close to my old workflow. I'm going to investigate Lightroom ( which is free in my adobe package) as this makes me realise my loyalty to phase one is not appreciated. Many hours wasted!

Peter - you're right in that there is no longer a button. However, I gave up using the button years ago in favour of the Keyboard shortcut which does exactly the same thing. Cmd-D on a Mac, not sure whether it's Ctrl-D or Alt-D on Windows. I find it even quicker.

thx Ian that's really useful to know - still would like a button though if C1 are listening ever!

Peter, I am with you.
I told them too I'd like to have this one-button-click for processing bac.
They seem to love either their keyboards (because you can do sooooo much with the keyboard shortcuts) or they love their mice (because they keep on introducing more clicks into the software)...
C1 Folks, more or changed functionality should not translate into more clicks for standard procedures...
(Unfortunately, the C1 folks didn't listen or disregarded my opinion..)

Hi Peter,
I'm not sure if you mean the same export button in C1 Version 14.4:
When I press the Export button (or the shortcut CMD-D) in the Export Toolbar under the Recipes, it behaves the same as before, the images are exported immediately without any further message or window.It seems to be the same behavior as before (Version 14.2). Or am I missing something? By the way, I don't really understand what the other Export Window is good for...
I am still unsure whether to update to version 14.4. (from 14.2. with the good old export feature)
Greetings

User of CO1 since version 6. This is by far the dumbest change you can ever do.
Its like telling a person to switch hand and write an essay. Seriously guys, PUT IT BACK !!!
I am considering rolling back to the old version because of this.

I'm now trying Lightroom as an alternative, which would streamline with my other apps and It's free with my photography package with adobe. It's not as good from a workflow perspective but if I've got to change the way I work then at least I'll save some money every month. It must be a simple matter to reinstate the batch and process windows from the last iteration, why won't they listen.

Huan and Peter, they sorted this issue out nearly a month ago. You can add all the process and batch tools into custom tabs now to give the same functionality as before and never have to use the pop up export window.
Sounds like you may have missed the update!!0 -
Thx Gideon, I did hear that but being completely stupid and after 20 odd years of capture one use I can't find how to do that !!

Just right click on the tool tabs area, choose Add Tool Tab, and select Export.

And the good news is all my process formulas were still there. It's slightly annoying that there is no longer a button for the top bar that exports with the current process settings. However, Command-D does the trick. Unfortunately, each output formula now has its own export location so you have to remember to change every one you are using, which I don't think there is a way to change. The separate export window that opens is a dumb idea but I'm learning to not accidentally open it.
Apple just returned function keys and MagSafe, and added back ports to their MacBook Pros. I'd been waiting for this before buying a new one (which I just ordered). Companies do dumb things, I hope CaptureOne will learn from this one.

Don't count on what I am saying now (as I am still on v20) but I think there is a way (token) to take about that.

@Ric Cohn, as BeO suggested one can use the "Sub Name" token to globally update the output location for all recipes (or just a subset of them).
Just use the token in the recipe output location and adjust its value on a per-export basis.

Absolutely no upside to removing the export tab; literally destructive.

Managing to work with this new madness but I hate it. The whole program seems to have lost its way. I’d gladly go back to the simplicity of v12.

@ Peter Huggins
Have you guys actually looked at the newest release of Capture one? Things have changed since this thread started 9 months ago, and the Export tool tab is available again.

Yes I look at it daily the the whole thing has got overly complicated, I now need several clicks to do what was originally a one click dev as I edited.
Maybe I'm missing something, and yes I have got the tab sorted.

There is no button on the toolbar as there used to be, but otherwise the re-instated Export Tool Tab is pretty much as we used to have. And you can still just use Cmd-D (or Ctrl-D on Windows) to just output an image using the current settings - it's even quicker than mousing to the button on the toolbar, and has the same effect.

@ Ian Wilson
Yes! Thank you for pointing that out after some digging it is like you said, I was successful in re-adding the export tab back and resuming to an old comfort.
