Notes on Testing

The database will be wiped if the schema changes during an update, as such consider it temporary.

There is only one database, so indexing multiple sessions is difficult. At some point Capturebot will move to a document-model, which will allow each capture session to have its own settings and files.

Debugging

Capturebot is still in active development and there may be bugs. As such there are several debugging options available.

The shotlist can be deleted, or the entire database wiped, from the Shotlist > Reset Database menu.

If you know how to use regular expressions the capture format preview can be shown with the regex pattern by enabling "Regex in Token Previews" from the View menu.

If output files aren't matching as expected you can enable "Output File Paths" from the View menu. This will replace the check-circles with the expected path of the output pattern. The paths are also shown as tooltips on the check-circles.

Known Issues

  • There's an intermittent crash when running Shotlist commands
  • Metadata may not be read correctly if Auto Sync Sidecar XMP is set to Full Sync in Capture One
  • Hitting ESC from a progress view doesn't cancel the underlying task
