Select ONLY variants
IS there a way to select ONLY the variants? Or clear all the variants without having to select each one individually?

All images you see in CO are variants of underlying raw images. Even if there is only one.
Please tell us exactly what you want to delete.

If I make a cloned variant of all images in a folder, is there a way to only select those cloned variants? 0 -

Lightroom makes this trivial since it distinguishes between your initial variant and any secondary variants made after the initial import, but I don’t know of an easy way to do this in Capture One. If there’s a toggle somewhere, I’ve never found it, so I tend to assign a blue color label to my secondary variants, and then filter based on that color.0 -

I didn't think so, Mark.0 -

I am not aware of a simple filter within CO to do this. But if you have the 'Pro' version, you can can use a small AppleScript to assign a color tag to additional variants and then filter for the color tag.

You can select by "variant number". All first variants get the same number, so unless you have multiple variants of an image, this works pretty much the same as what you are looking for. It requires a few additional steps if you have multiple variants, but is still a very fast way to filter out variants.

Nice tip, ChrisM. I really wasn't aware of the 'Selecy By Same' - 'Variant Position (n)' choice in the pop-up menu.

It's a new option introduced in 9.3, IIRC.0 -

Hi Chris,
Please explain this process further, I just looked around a bit in C1-10 and couldn't seem to find such an option.
Thanks!

If you select images in the browser, then right-click, you'll see Select By Same > Variant Position 0 -

Got it! I wish they would just add an option in the filter for variants. This has been a long standing issue for me.
@Hans, I'd like to know more about the applescript you mentioned as well.
Thanks!0 -
Select (all) your images in CO, then run the code below in the 'Script Editor' app.
It will set the color tag to 5 (= blue) for all additional variants ([2], [3], [4], ...) in the selection.
tell application "Capture One 10"
set Alle to (get selected variants)
set Anzahl to count of Alle
set Zaehler to 1
repeat while (Zaehler < Anzahl)
set Bild_1 to (get parent image of (get item Zaehler of Alle))
set Zaehler to (Zaehler + 1)
set Bild_2 to (get parent image of (get item Zaehler of Alle))
if Bild_1 = Bild_2 then
-- set color tag to 5 (= blue)
set the color tag of (item Zaehler of Alle) to 5
end if
end repeat
end tell
Just the basic function, no checks, no options, nothing fancy.
No warranties, use at your own risk, and so on. You know what I mean. 😄

Hans
Edit: Loop correction in code. Sorry, sleeping while programming!0 -
Hans, is it correct to assume that you must sort the collection by file name? Or is the list you get from "get selected variants" always sorted like that?
BTW, nice idea! Do you have any useful resources on C1's AppleScript abilities? The documentation is a bit, err, non-existent…
Cheers,

Watch out, Peter, I fixed the loop after initial posting. See the 'Edit' statement in the post. I did it by edit, because there had not been any replies at that time. [quote="peter.f" wrote:

As long as the variants are grouped per image, it will work. As far as I know, it is not possible to shuffle the variants of 2 different images. The sequence you get is the same as shown in the browser. But it will fail if you select 2 images with identical file names but different folders. And it's a good idea to check if 2 or more images are selected. As I said:[quote="HansB" wrote:

No, I don't. Just trial and error. And the CO dictionary.
To be honest: I can program a good number of languages and systems, but this is my 1st Applescript.
And my 1st impression: I don't like it. The documentation is poor, the usage is tricky. But it does the job.

Indeed, the variants are always kept next to each other, even when sorting by color tag or so. I hadn't noticed this, but that's actually a stupid implementation. Further more, the order within each variant group seems to be fixed, not even sorted. Very odd.
And yeah, Applescript is weird. It was an attempt to bring "programming/scripting" to a wider audience, but a) I doubt it was successful in doing so and b) it's weird for programmers. I wish they had a Haskell API 😊
You can use javascript as well, but I'm not sure if that works with C1. Never did much with scripting on the mac anyway (except bash, awk, etc.).

Hi guys,
I am using 10.1 and still can't find a way to select the variants like in LR.
I have made a selection and gave them a RED color. From there I made variants of all those images and made this images Black and White.
Now I want to quickly select the black and white versions and give them another color tag.
How can I select within all this Red labeled images the variant?0 -
You can right-click on a variant and choose the "select by same > variant position". So, if you do that on your B/W variant, ie.., the second, it would select all second variants.
Then quickly tag or keyword them so you can filter more easily on them.
And unfortunately, you can't put them in a separate collection to keep them apart from the others.
Hope this makes sense,
Peter.0 -
Thanks for the tip!
Hopefully this will be designed in a easier way like LR has the next version ☹️0
