Capture One Library disappeared
« on: February 13, 2010, 12:22:59 pm »

I was browsing through my Library today when the entire Library suddenly disappeared.  The Library tab still shows in the toolbar, but clicking on it does nothing.  I have restarted the computer to no avail.  I have no idea what caused this, and I am searching for a way to restore the Library.

I am using Capture One 5 Pro with Mac OS 10.6.  In the Finder, there is a folder with Capture One Library, but it contains nothing but empty subfolders.

Problem solved.  Library icon>right click>add tool>Library.

Weird.  I still don't know what made it disappear in the first place.

If you click and drag the word "library" you'd turn it into a floating tool floating mostly off the screen.

Or if you click the down triangle in the upper right at the end of the bar that says "library" you can "close tool".

The degree to which you can customize Capture One is amazing - especially regarding using it both on small laptop screens and large (sometimes dual) monitors on desktops. However it can also confuse less experienced users.

One great "o crap button" is Window > Workpace > Default Workspace which resets all the tools/tabs/viewer options. That would have also fixed your problem.
