Make your own features series Every now and again I see feature requests that are very obvious but will probably never be implemented due to the fact the perceived commercial impact doesnt interest the bean counters. This was partly the reason I learned to script Capture One, and why scripting such a valuable facet of Capture One: why wait when you can make solutions yourself. So, (with the best will and time allowing) this series will focus on solving and building for unresolved feature gaps in Capture One. Ep 2. How can… Read More
This week (though it’s taken nearly a year on and off) I finalised another Capture One app – CheckOut – based on the Output events feature. You can find the app in the store here. Scripting Output events Output events are script objects that record a variants processing history. Basically every time you process a file in C1, the app logs some data about what was done automatically. You can then query the the variant for this data. Without these, the script designer would have to create “watch folder” monitor scripts, or… Read More

Updated: 30 June 2022 Since this post, 15.3.0 was released and introduced a bug that can hang even crash when using this app. 15.3.1 was just released today which seems to be more stable, but there is a huge performance regression instead, which (while it now works again) makes this application VERY slow to work on files. I can see no workaround and have reported it. It’s been a really long time since my last post as I’ve been pretty busy with other things. Home again, home again… jiggity jig. Last year… Read More
This week I was working on a commission for a client. In the solution I needed to include a “technical” Style (a Style with certain parameters (meta data, flags) that aren’t necessarily typical of the generic Styles use-case). Then I realised: there was no way to really send Styles in a convenient way. I build a lot of custom install stuff for Capture One, automating the process of setup, shortcuts, dependencies etc, that help simplify and scale installations, but this seemed a little unsuitable for a Style. Then I remembered Style Packs…. Read More
