… well then i hope the following might be useful -
C1 buggy? - please explain ...

I am using the 64-bit version of 6.2.1 on Windows. I found several user reports that state that some bugs are only present in the 64-bit version. But I tried the 32-bit version and my bugs are there as well.
- There is an all-auto-adjustment button since version 6. Clicking it crashes Capture One immediately.
- Version 6 supports inline movie playing. It does work sometimes, but most of the time it does not. It then keeps showing the image of the previously looked at non-video file.
- Sometimes Capture One remembers the last opened folder, but most of the time it keeps opening one particular folder for several sessions. I always try to understand the logic behind that behavior.
- There was a bug with printing in 6.0, which was fixed in 6.1. It gave me spurious black borders on all prints. I had a long correspondence with the customer service, but in the end they solved it by accident. They had no idea how to fix it, in the end they did not know that they fixed it, but were happy that it now worked for me.
These are only the most annoying issues.

for me C1 works on my mac with no problems so far, and the speed is fine for me . . . performance depends on the particular 'puter i expect, so here is my info -
- a 4yo 24" imac; OSX 10.6.7; 2.8g core 2 duo; 4gb sdram; 800 mhz bus; ATI,RadeonHD2600 …. so, not the fastest but but too bad
- C1 6.2.1
speeds? -
i've been using my own file/folder system for so long that i don't use the new capture library system - i copy only the files i'll be working on into a temporary C1 input folder = minimum files to look at -
C1 - start up time = 11sec
- i use 37.4mb ARW files -
time to display a new file at full rez = in the blink of an eye
time to make adjustments and see the result = close enough to instant
time to analyse and comp for ca = 6sec
time to output a 146.5mb tiff file and open in Ps5 (either from standard C1 settings or from having adjusted everything in C1) = 18sec
- so far i have had no hang ups anywhere … and, i haven't used a win pc since the previous century so can't compare systems …

Well, I am not talking about processing times. Making adjustments results in near-instant changes in the preview. And cnce I have put my conversions into the batch queue, it runs smoothly and reasonably fast. I am referring mostly to the sluggishness of the UI.
I have a folder structure based on months where the pictures are taken. That is about 100-300 photos per folder. Capture One maintains sidecar files including generated thumbnails in each folder, so I don't get why it takes half a minute to load all thumbnails. Sometimes it even reloads all thumbnails when you switch between two folders during one session.
I also really like the idea of Smart Albums. It lets you combine several folders to a virtual one and then search for things therein. But it is useless, because before you can perform a search or filter, it loads all thumbnails, which takes ages for multiple combined folders.

i like the C1 quality -

I like the quality of the final images, too. This is why I am still using it. But I would like to have a program that is not in the way of the user.
