Fix and improve Capture One Live ASAP!

I have no idea why you cant even fix simple issues which caused a lot of problems? I seriously cant understand especially since issues are so obvious.


  1. Folder name issue
    There is a serious issue with folder names on Capture One Live. It does not show full names and it never shows first letters or words which makes it impossible to find folders by name.

  2. No sort options
    It's impossible to sort folder by names and dates. Instead, they randomly mixed!

  3. Client's star, comment, tag
    Tho I get notifications whenever client make selections, it's totally impossible to check their selections from all folders. I have to create a smart album manually to find their selections but still, you cant find their comments unless you go to each file one by one. Why not make a separate folder within Capture One live where I can see client's selections all at once?

  4. Following capture
    Tho each folder supports follow capture, it only works in specific folder as it does not automatically follow other capture folder.

  5. Global filter
    Kinda close to #3 issue but you can not set global filters. Instead, you have to go to each folder to set specific star and/or tag one by one cause each folder works separately and individually.

  6. Background color
    In mid July updates, the background color changed from black to white which is very awful. You can still change it in a viewer mode but it doesn't really cover the entire screen. No options to change the background color which only force you to stick with white.

  7. Live management sucks
    This is terrible in many ways and I have no idea where to start.
    - Let's say you have 100 folders but wanted to show only few or specific folders on Live? You CANT cause if you share the folder, it will starts the live as a separate session with many links to provide. Yes, there is one way to show all of them at once which is Favorite folders. Otherwise, it wont work.
    - Sometimes, folders may disconnect but you have to click "reconnect" one by one cause there is no way you can manage many folders in one session.
    - Overall, you can NOT control and manage live folder all at once instead of going through small lists or manually one by one.

These are serious problems that I've been asking to fix and improve and yet, nothing had been fixed especially from mid July updates.

This is NOT good.
