Capture one Edits resetting when creating sessions
greetings,
I'm new to capture one, I have 2 questions.
1. I have picture folders with raw files and capture one folder that has the settings and caches in it, how do I preserve those settings while creating a new sessions for the Photo folder.
2. How can I see the other folders that have raw files and the capture one folders and the settings and caches as above without creating a sessions or catalog and still be able to see the pictures with the adjusted/edited settings in tact?
It seems like every time I create a new sessions I lose all the adjustments for all my pictures in that folder. Please advise me if there is a preference setting that prevents this from happening or if there is another workaround without losing all my adjustments. Thank you in advance.

I am 100% a noob with C1...but from my limited knowledge so far, it appears to me the maybe you want to be just using a catalog, rather than a bunch of sessions....
From what I understand and what you've posted, sessions are independent of each other....but everything under a catalog is kept in place so to speak.
Now, as I understand it....often folks use sessions for tethered shoots, and then they pull those in and arrive them into an overarching catalog....to archive and continue all work from the archive from that point on.
Session databases and catalog databases don't talk to each other....the session->catalog is a one way trip and from then on you access and do further manipulations from the catalog.
Again, I'm a noob...but hope that helps some.

Hi Henock,
I am not very familiar with sessions, as I use them scarcely, for specific projects for instance. But I know that the folders attached to your RAW files are specific to a given session. If you create a new session and try to open RAW files previously processed in an other session, you won't retrieve your previous settings and adjustments.
It is always possible to import sessions into a catalogue (very easy) but, then, the synchronisation is lost, i.e. you can't any longer continue to process your images once they are in your catalogue.

Hi Henock, I have little bit of expereince using sessions. I observe that I have some folder Test123, which is made to be a "Favorite" folder of two Sessions, A and B,the adjustments made are not visible in B, and the reverse also applies.
That makes sense, as Sessions are made for work on groups of images that have no connection.
What you want, I can easily do in a catalog.
Import all the images into the catalog, and create an Album for (and optionally a Project) for each project you are working on. copy the images you want into each album.
Changes made to an image in one album are visible in any other album.

Henock,
If you already have an image folder with a Capture One folder and the Settings and Cache subfolders and you open that image folder in another session I would expect you to be able to see all of the images complete with the previously made edits.
At least that is what I see using Windows.
In recent releases if you open the images folder with a different version of C1 you may end up with another Settings folder - the settings are now saved by version in order to retain access for old versions unchanged. Or at least they are if one does not replace the old version but installs the new version alongside. However the new versions start with the Settings files form the previous version.
If you are not seeing the same results then something is probably not set up as expected.
If you are opening a folder as I described above then you should see the previous edits.
You might want to double check that you are actually opening the folder you think you are opening. (Or maybe you are opening the folder rather than selecting it?)
If that is not the problem then maybe check permissions (not something one needs to be so concerned about with Windows.)
If nothing works I would suggest that you "Submit a request" and discyuss things with the C1 support team.

It sounds like you are trying to manage one set of raw files using more than one session. Don't do that. That is not how sessions are designed to work.
Suppose that today I spend a couple of hours taking photos of a model. That is one session of work with that model. Tomorrow I have a session of work with a different model. I could choose to import the first session's photos into a Session in Capture One. I could choose to import the second session's photos into a different Session in Capture One. Having done that, I would never create another new Session in Capture One for either of those two sessions with models. One Capture One Session for one set of photos. That's how it is intended to work. This keeps the photos from the two modeling sessions completely separate from each other in Capture One.
But perhaps you would be happier using a Catalog?
