Please allow us to export ratings, tags and comments from a gallery for safe keeping before expiry

Most of my issues, and many others, with capture one live would easily be resolved with this one simple feature!


I would like to be able to quickly export my clients selections (or tags, or comments) as a plain filename list, which I can then safely save as a txt doc and reference later if required.


This simple txt doc can then be pasted in the desktop app at "select> filename list" and it will locate all these files in an instant, saving any confusion or lost selects.


This should be as plain as receiving an email or doc with this:

5 Star Images List:

  • please remove flyaway hairs

  • extend backdrop


We could copy and paste the required file names into the desktop filename-list feature and have instant results with NO ambiguity or mistakes.


Eg 1: for my monthly ecomm client that selects from 4000+ images shot across 2 days, I would like to safely be able to export their 400x 5-starred images from online. I often have errors when relinking their selects to this desktop gallery, which is a nightmare for all.


Eg 2: For a headshot client who was slow at their selects, I could save down their current 2-, 3-, and 4- star selects and reinstate them correctly in a new live link, if it expires


Eg 3: I could export all clients comments in an easy to read format to share with my retouching team (because copying and pasting comments-especially on many photos, with multiple comments each, is a horrible experience right now. And they also cannot be accessed after 30 days.)


It would be amazing to be able to activate this feature as needed while within the 30 days, and also to be sent as a final text doc when the gallery expires.


It could be UGLY AF, it just needs to be easy to paste, line-separated data, so we can feel confident we will never lose a client's selects again






Current workaround

Crying at lost selects, ruminating about throwing computer out of the window lol


But really for Eg 1:

I literally screenshot online gallery pages until all 400x selects are evidenced, before opening the project on the desktop. If an error occurs, and selects are not correctly loaded, I then need to slowly match these again visually off the screenshots. It's torturous!!!!


Eg2: I have to tell my client all her work is lost and to start again, she is mad.


Eg3, if I copy and paste multiple comments from the viewer, they paste in this horrible format:

If there are 30x images with comments, and 3-10 comments each I need to individually highlight every single one, it's slowwwwww and frustrating



Thank you for reading! I hope this can be created some day!
