Request a new feature, or support for a camera/lens that you would like to use in Capture One.
What problem do you see this solving?
Currently, when importing files from an SD/memory card, Capture One does not offer a native token to extract only the 4-digit sequence number from the original camera filename. The only options are the full [Image Name] (e.g., _DSC01234) or Capture One's independent internal [4 Digit Counter].
However, when tethering, Capture One does have a token option to grab just the image sequence number. This lack of parity between the Import dialog and Tethering dialog breaks workflow consistency. Many photographers need a unified naming convention across both tethered and card-imported shoots (e.g., Name-JobTitle-[4-digit-camera-number]).
When was the last time you were affected by this lack of functionality?
Every time I ingest files from a multi-camera shoot or an SD card backup where the physical camera numbers need to match across multiple applications and logs, without resetting the counter to 0001.

Current workaround
Currently, I have to perform a multi-step workaround:
Having a native token like [Original 4-Digit Number] directly inside the Import Images dialog would save immense amounts of post-production time. |
