Automatically delete unchanged Tiff files

What problem do you see this solving?

When exported files come back from eg. Photoshop that have been unchanged or "don't save" has been selected, it would be most efficient if Capture One automatically deleted the Tiff file it created. The Tiff file takes up unnecessary room in the browser and thus I have to take the time (and remember) to delete them.

When was the last time you were affected by this lack of functionality, or specific tool?

I am affected by this behaviour on a regular basis. I use Photoshop in conjunction with Capture One and there are times I do not want to save the changes to images that I have made.

Current workaround

Are you using any workarounds or other solutions to achieve your goals in Capture One?

As far as I can tell there are no workarounds to this issue. A new Tiff file is automatically created before exporting the image to another software.

    Thank you Martin, yes it's the best we can do at the moment.

    It's not a direct solution to your issue Ann, but I have a smart album set up as part of my session template which groups Tiff files so at least they're all collected together for deletion and I don't have to go hunting and pecking for them. (I also have smart albums for DNGs, & PSDs)
