What Problem Does this Solve
Capture One Pro offers a [File > Open Recent Session]. This works for a small number of sessions. However, many production houses, digital techs, and even some individual photographers can be juggling dozens of sessions at any given time. These sessions may be on different drives or subfolders. Below is a method to better access and organize sessions.
Step by Step
1. In the Finder select [File > Find]
2. Select [Kind > Is > Other] and type in “session”
3. Push + if you wish to add other Search Modifiers such as “Last Opened” or “Created Date”
4. Push Save to create a Smart Folder based on your search terms
Suggested Smart Folders:
– “Recently Opened Sessions” [Created Date > is > within last > 3 > months]
– “Current Sessions” [Last Opened > is > within last > 2 > weeks]
– “All Sessions” [No additional modifiers]
Other Tips
If you wish to distinguish between C13 and C14 Sessions you can change [Kind > Is > Other > “Session”] to [Name > Ends With > “.col45” or “session”].
Make sure “Search:” is set to “This Mac” to search the entire computer unless the intention is to search just a particular folder (e.g. a folder specific to a particular client).
