Improve Capture One

Turn Off Session Folders functionality, at least partially

The addition of Session folders in latest update is kinda great, even though it worked ok with session favourites. It's a great feature for CAPTURE folder.

What I dont like is that session now scans EVERYTHING that is within the Session folder, including all subfolders in the Output. Which not only makes all the output images show up in smart searches, but creates CaptureOne folders with previews and settings in every folder that contains images. Which becomes a pain when you need to upload of share something from OUTPUT, you would also upload and share all C1 specific stuff as well.


Now I simply cannot export images with the tree of subfolders without a lot of extra folders inside them.


Ability to switch off this deep scan for some of the folders in Session would be great, at least for the OUTPUT folder

    Hi Maxim,

    You have an option in the settings to disable the new Session Folders functionality, this will return the behavior to the previous one.

    We are also looking into solutions for the smart albums and the CaptureOne folder that are created, but we don't have an estimated date for release of the improvements.
