Proper Plugin Support

What problem do you see this solving?
Having a robust plugin architecture would allow more image-processing software and peripherals to be connected to Capture One. Right now, using the janky keyboard shortcuts method is the only way to use an alternate input method and the number of image processing plugins is laughable.

When was the last time you were affected by this lack of functionality, or specific tool?
Daily.

Are you using any workarounds or other solutions to achieve your goals in Capture One?
Input - dealing with simple commands only using a device like Loupedeck.

Image processing - Exporting out of Capture One for anything more than basic adjustments.

Are you happy to be contacted further about this suggestion or request?
Absolutely. I love the image quality I get from Capture One but despise the user experience. I'd like to see it improved so I don't have to use software where I despise the image quality but love the user experience.
