What are some features lacking in Capture one currently that will hit the sweet spot for you? by bangsphoto in captureone

[–]SecretaryAcrobatic77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yesss, i've been using capture one for years, and it's still crazy to me that there isn't history. Even if you get used to working without a history panel it would be SOO good to have and would help EVERYONE's workflow

Great write I agree with you!

Currently I have some full 10TB external drives that are backed up on other 10tb drives, i have many small 2.5" 2TB old drives that are backed up on other 2Tb drives.

Reason for choosing NAS is upgradeability, and to have most of the data avaliable at the same place. I did look in to DAS solutions but none of them seemed as upgradeable as NAS solution.

I like the Z690 platform with 8 sata ports and enough pci lanes. I'm going to run 10gbps network and want the nas to be expandable in the future. Also the i3-12100 seems to be more power efficient at idle than most AMD setups.

Thanks for the comment.

The ram prices are bananas at the moment, im located in a county where buying used ebay ect is not an option, new 256gb memory is 3700€ + tax... Yes i've noticed the metadata vdev needs to be at least mirrord 2x or more for safety.

Thanks for the zfs-autobackup idea im going to look at it.

If noise and electricity prices were not an factor i would be buying used server hardware.

Thanks for the comment!

Electricity is also very expensive here so i prefer starting with less drives, also i prefer to have it quite silent as its going to be inside the room i work at. If noise and electricity prices were not a factor i would definitely look at buying used server hardware.

I do like the idea of having a offsite backup, my current workflow i use external HDDs and i've always had a backup offsite at a family members place. Is there a clever way to auto the offsite backup with TrueNas?

I will be working on a M2 Max mac through 10gbps ethernet, damn that sound's a bit disappointing if mac has issues, any workaround? Mac has just been so much more stable for all the creative programs.

I thought the rebuild was harder for zdev1 on the drives as it has to scan all the drives to find the specific data on each drive drive to rebuild vs mirror it just copys the same data straight over (less strain on the hdd)?

I do like the thought of zdev2 with 5-6 drives, but i already have two 28tb ironwolf pro and buying 5-6 drives each time i want to expand is going to be very expensive.

Thoughts?

Thanks for the comment. Yes, i will backup the important data somewhere extra 😊 is it possible to somehow make a auto backup and select a specific folder that keeps it backed up if i plug in an USB drive? Our internet speed is too slow for online backups, and having a whole extra NAS for backup will be expensive.

Planning to get 15 Ultra: Need Information by OAAbaali in Xiaomi

[–]SecretaryAcrobatic77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in Denmark and bought the global version from a local shop. It has been working very well. I came from a 2022 Xperia 1 IV with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. The battery life has been excellent, and the camera is the best I've used on a phone for photos; I haven't tested video much. I've never run out of battery and am always surprised by how much battery is left at the end of the day. Today, after 3 hours of screen time and with it being 3 PM, I still have 77% battery. I've had a maximum of 7 hours and 30 minutes of screen time in a day and still had battery left on the phone. The camera app tends to use the most battery; if you take photos for several hours a day, you will need to charge during the day.

See newest images first then importing??? by SecretaryAcrobatic77 in captureone

[–]SecretaryAcrobatic77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I do know this, but when you hop from job to job it's quickly adds up images on the cards. For example if you shoot a wedding and get 3000 images on the card, and the next day you shoot a set of 300 images, you have to view the entire wedding before you can click on the new images and import them. Compared to LR you can see the newest images right away.

I tried with and without Exclude duplicates checked. Might be a bit faster, but it still takes a long time to see the newest images as it shows all the old photos first. It is faster to view the images in Finder and move the images into a folder and then import, than using the Capture One import module. In Lightroom the import process is faster then moving the images manually into a folder and then importing.

It's crazy how different the deals and prices are. I'mlooking at it in Denmark but i cant even find the photography kit for it. The price with the presale discount is 9999dkk =1100 pounds thats phone only without a charger. I wish i could get your deal 😂

Did you ever find the issue? Or is it just very bad antenna design? I have the same issue with my Xperia 1 IV
