I guess I will lose my edits over the last half year, if I delete all the duplicate folders from my old sessions using import. But, well - I still have the exports.
You don't need to loose all your C1P edits! Simply copy the CaptureOne folder where your edits are stored into the new target folder that contains your images. Of course you mustn't rename your images.
I like sessions because they are extremely flexible. You can work with different other applications and don't need to sync the catalog or import the images.
Simply tether or scan images directly into the session capture folder. Develop your PSR images using RawTherapee and store the images directly into to same folder. Same goes for my Helicon Focus stacked and PTGui generated Panorama images or if I do other specialized things with Affinity Apps or GIMP. You'll always see the results immediately in the C1Pro session folder and you can work on the images straight ahead within the C1Pro session.
And if you want to exchange a few images with someone else using C1Pro just convert the images into the EIP format. That's a ZIP container format that will wrap an image with its variants if you want and it will contain all your changes made using C1Pro tools. This EIP thing (Pack & Unpack) only works fully in sessions.
