Don't create CaptureOne folders in output folders

The most recent version of C1 Pro now aggressively creates CaptureOne folders and .cop files in output folders. For those of us immediately uploading folders of several image versions onto a server to deliver to a client, this now means we have to filter those out so that they don't cause uploads to fail or for folders to appear in places they shouldn't.

Can there be an option to restore the previous functionality of not having C1 create CaptureOne folders in the output folders unless you navigate to an Output (sub)folder?

Current workaround

!/bin/bash;cd Output;find . -name "CaptureOne" -type d -prune -exec rm -rf {} \;

in a Batch Done script, but if you leave C1 open after that, the files generally return after a time.

    We're working on an improvement in this direction, it should be released by the end of the month if all goes well.

    In the meantime, you can go in your settings and disable the new "Sessions Folder" section, this will return the software to the previous behavior.
