Set custom workspace as default

Feature request: Please add the ability to set a saved custom workspace as the default startup workspace.

I’ve created my own custom workspace in Capture One, and while I can manually select it from Window → Workspace, I’d like a clear setting that tells Capture One to load that workspace every time the application opens.

Ideally, this could be handled through a simple option such as:

“Set current workspace as startup/default workspace”

or a preference under Settings/Preferences:

“Startup workspace: [dropdown of saved workspaces]”

This would be especially helpful for photographers who have customized workspaces for their specific workflow and want Capture One to consistently open in that setup without needing to reselect it manually, especially after updates or workspace resets.

Thanks for considering this.

Current workaround

I currently manually select it from Window → Workspace whenever my custom workspace doesn't load from my previous session.
