Capture One file hierarchy (library) system conflict with Mac finder

Permanently deleted user
  • Edited

I am totally annoyed and completely fed up by the continuous problems I encounter anytime I update some folders names in my mac finder...

I love to use the C1 catalog form to file a lot of sessions together and to be able to use as a digital asset management, but I suffer from continuous conflict problems from Capture One not being able to locate files anymore...

I know and I am aware that I should change folder names in Capture One library, but that is not always possible...

and I really feel like we are using two OS systems on the same platform (mac in my case) and that this is an absolutely ridiculous choice Capture One has made from the beginning 

Is anybody feeling the same? Has anybody any solutions, since Capture One decided to kill iview mediapro?

    If you change a folder name in Finder, isn't any app that has constructed a catalog of images going to run into the same problems? What happens, for instance, in Lightroom when you do it?

    Yes EtMRS, true ... C1 it is not a DAM app, but who killed MediaPro? CaptureOne company.

    Are there any substitute that you know of?

    And besides that, if catalogs are not made to do Digital assets managements what are they conceived for?

    Ciao Ian, sorry to bother you...

    but was it you that gave me such kind suggestions regarding some great DAM app that I cannot find it in this thread anymore...  was your nick EtMRS at that time? Or was somebody else that deleted his account? I left the matter unresolved  and now I that I need it cannot find the message anymore 

    thanks!

    Hallo EtMRS, thank you! You have my full support on this matter!!!

    "that we prefer using an external application to select our pictures."

    can you tell us more how you manage your DAM workflow out of C1? I remember being given some great advises

    I'll keep this question on this thread to keep the other clean or I can repost there if you prefer
