Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Export Plugin

[alpower]

Hi Jay,

Looks like in Adobe Lightroom 2.0 the plugin appears correctly, but on entering your key and URL, and clicking 'Enter Key' it does not save those values, thus the Export button is permanently greyed and the plugin cannot be used.

Any ideas?

Many thanks!
Al
Update: I enabled logging, and notices the following output:

2008-08-09 19:11:56 +0100, WARN Function LrPhoto:withSettingsForPluginDo is deprecated as of Lightroom 2.0.

No idea whether this is the culprit or not, but if it is deprecated, it should still work surely?

I'm experience the same problem running LR2.0 on Vista (export button not enabled). I enter the key and URL but it doesn't seem to save the settings. Can I hardcode this information somewhere in the plugin?

I seem to be having the same problems as other posters with LR2 and this awesome plugin. I even tried to launch LR1.4, put in the Post Key and URL, since the modules directory is shared between both. It worked properly in LR 1.4, but when I closed LR 1.4 and opened LR2, it still did not work.

FYI, I am using a MAC running OSX 1.5

workarround:

open your old lightroom1 preference file.
- search for PIXELPOST
- you found this section:
<key>sdk_org.pixelpost.lightroom.export.pixelpos t</key>
<string>prefs = {
addCategories = "",
addTags = "",
allowComments = "M",
autoDate = "3",
hideFromPublic = false,
postKey = "XXXXXXXX",
privacy = "public",
privacy_family = false,
privacy_friends = false,
safety = "safe",
token = "OK",
type = "photo",
uploadURL = "http://XXXXXXXXXXX/pp_upload.php",
}

go to your lightroom2 preference file
edit the same section and replace with your lr1 section.

now it works for me.

Thanks TAOG, that sorted it. Anyone else doing this remember to make sure

token = "OK",

is set, otherwise it won't register that you have a URL and key set.

I guess as more people start using Lightroom 2, then this will get fixed.

Hi,

Can anybody advise me on the best way to edit the preferences? I have Lightroom 2 installed, and whenever I open the preferences file, all my preferences/plug-ins are removed as if the preferences file is being corrupted by using Notepad.

Thanks so much.

Hmmm. I'm on a mac, which has a property editor (...which doesn't help you).

I would make a copy of the properties file before you edit it just in case, and open it in wordpad instead and see if that works. In wordpad you might need to save it as type text document to preserve the formatting.

Maybe the editor is adding extra whitespace at the end of the file or something which you might have to remove?

(caveat emptor - all from memory when I last had a windows box about 2 years ago )

I saw that was available on Mac - couldn't find anything similar for the PC version.

I'll try it with wordpad, see if that helps. Notepad++ didn't work either.

Thanks for the advice.

Hi Jay,

Thanks for the plugin... however, every time I open the plug in manager, the box for the 'Post Key and Upload URL' says... "ENTER KEY". I get no confirmation after entering in my info. Could you please help? I tried to find the files TAOG was mentioning in his workaround, but to no luck.

Also. The 'watermark' function, how does that work?

Thanks,
Matthew
