Requested feature
Please add an option to prevent files from being renamed from within Capture One.
What problem do you see this solving?
It has happened countless times that I've accidentally renamed files when typing a shortcut, only to discover at a later time that some files were now named h.cr3, v.cr3, c.cr3, etc.
The issue is that when attempting to select a photo it's easy to accidentally click next to a file name in the browser, which means the file name is selected rather than the photo; when you then type a shortcut the photo is renamed.
When was the last time you were affected by this lack of functionality, or specific tool?
This used to happen regularly, and once in a while I still come across accidentally renamed files in my catalogue. For now I've found a workaround to at least reduce the problem.

Current workaround
Are you using any workarounds or other solutions to achieve your goals in Capture One? One workaround is to lock the contents of folders containing image files, but this would prevent changes to sidecar files as well as the creation of sidecar files. A better solution is to lock the image files. As locking files individually would be too time consuming, doing so by using a Terminal command (Mac) is faster (see this), but an option in Capture One would be a lot easier. |
And still more urgent as Capture One (according to support) isn't going to fix the problem that has been introduced.
This is even more urgent now that Capture One – possibly from version 16.3.6.6 – can somehow unlock files that have been locked in macOS's Finder, breaking the only workaround.
