File Import--Random Order Issue

Permanently deleted user

When working untethered and then later importing files from memory card into a Capture One session, C1 randomizes order of the images in Capture Folder.

  • File names on memory card in proper order (example: CF003750.IIQ, CF003751.IIQ, CF003752.IIQ...).
  • Prior to import, C1 Viewer (sorted by "Name") shows images in order.
  • Upon import, using file renaming via text and tokens, images are given a random numerical order: (example: 001, 035, 036, 037...050, 034, 033, 032, 031, 001, 002, 003...)

Seriously annoying, especially when exposing multiple files of the same view for HDR or stitching to panorama.

Any thoughts?

    RESOLVED.

    Solution: Be sure "Sort Order" in the Import Window is set to a category that has the value by which you want to sort the import. For example, "Name" or "Date."

    Problem occurs when Sort Order in the Import Window is set (in my case unintentionally) to a category that had no value. In my case I unintentionally changed the sort to "Color Tag." As a result, C1 did not know how to sort and just imported randomly.
