Capture One vs FolioSort
Capture One is brilliant for editing, but manual session management is a massive time sink. FolioSort pre-sorts thousands of RAWs from your SD cards into perfect EXIF-based folder structures before you import. Deliver albums faster, not later.

Sort with FolioSort, edit with Capture One
Drag your SD card dump into FolioSort. Define a folder template like {YYYY}/{MM}/{Camera}/{City}/ and hit run.
Every RAW file is in the right folder — sorted by date, camera and GPS location — before you open Capture One.
Point Capture One's session or catalog at your already-organized folders. Your structure is already done — just edit and deliver.
Stop manually dragging files into Session folders. Download FolioSort and ingest your SD cards intelligently.
