Kuuvik Capture 6.5 : Download Skipping

Kuuvik Capture is used for diverse purposes and in diverse environments, in some of which long download times interfere with the photographer’s workflow. Think about transferring huge RAWs over Wi-Fi. Or a camera having USB 2.0 only. So it’s not surprising that skipping image downloads was among the most requested features.

The app already sported an option to skip downloads during sequences, and you could choose which part is downloaded if you shoot RAW+JPG, but version 6.5 takes it a step further.

The new Nothing option of the Download setting will cause Kuuvik Capture to skip every single download. Standalone captures as well as images in a sequence. It is available for RAWs and JPGs besides RAW+JPG pairs.

Use Download > Nothing to skip the downloads.

Naturally, the Download setting is now visible for all image quality settings.

You can still control sequence download skipping separately with the Do not download images captured in a sequence setting in case Download is set to other than Nothing. But in case of Nothing, the Do not download images captured in a sequence setting is automatically turned on and grayed out.

Works exactly the same way on both Mac and iPad.

A little thing, but I’m sure a lot of people will appreciate it.
