Need help untangling an import problem.

Sean Kernan

Although I've been using C1 Pro for 10+ years, I've somehow made a mess of importing a lot of files to a session to the point where I think I need to simply start over...with some help. 

I imported various files from several cards several times, but for some reason (human error, I fear) a bunch of files disappeared and the card had been reformatted. Fortunately I found the missing in a backup.

So I copied all of the files to a separate hard drive, made a new session, and imported again. So far so good.

But checking the drive, though the files show up in C1 Pro session, they  were not in the capture folder, as I thought they would be. And now I'm honestly not sure where they have been imported to...or are they just associated but not imported.

It is kind of embarrassing not to know the details of how the program does things.In the past, importing has always brought the files into a folder in the program, but that seems not to have happened. And I don't just want to make another session and try it all again without knowing what I've done wrong.

 

THANKS FOR ANY WISDOM ON HOW TO RECTIFY.

    All you have to do is copy the files from your backup to a folder in your session direcetory (Capture/"titel") then add the folder as a favorite. OR In the Import dialog box, set the destination/ Target  to Capture. (A Folder belonging to your session) 

    Sorry for my bad English

    No need to be unsure. Right click on an image in C1 to bring up a menu that should have two "Show in" options. Show in Library should open the image location folder under "System Folders" in C1. Show in Finder should open the image location folder in the Mac's Finder tool (my Windows version of C1 has Show in Explorer). Both "Show in" options should lead you to the folder where C1 finds the image.

    Thanks to you both! This starts me on the road to clarity.

    A further question: it seems that files are in a few locations, none of which are the capture folder. What is the best way to move and consolidate them in the capture folder...without screwing everything up?

    > Sean Kernan: ...best way to move...

    General wisdom is to work inside C1, don't work on (move/rename/delete/...) C1's files behind C1's back. That said, sessions are more forgiving than catalogs are, but things may depend on how important existing edits are to you. I guess starting from scratch meant giving something up. If you have C1 "pack" an image to an image.eip file, you can transfer that .eip file with edits embedded to a different session and continue your work.
