I have been using the Zenfolio plugin and noticed that my file sizes were a bit large for using a 72 dpi setting. I found out that the files were actually using a setting of 240 dpi for the upload. I have not be able to figure out how to set dpi for what I want. I used a ‘file to disk’ setting and then uploaded that exported file using the plugin and that worked ok. Is there an issue here or is this behavior expected? Other than that, the plugin works very well.

Great feature. I use both versions of your plugin - Flickr and Zenfolio. The new captioning system is great. When do you envisage we’ll get it in Flickr version?

Once again, great effort

The LR2.0 version of the Flickr plugin will have it… —Jeffrey

Jeffrey, thanks for your efforts. I’m using the export plug in for SumgMug, and the star “Rating” token is not being recognised, am I doing anything wrong? Here’s my template:

{Folder}-{Rating}

Hope you can help!

I really like the Zenfolio uploader plugin.

One small issue that I’m having is with the interface.

My list of galleries and sub-galleries is very long, and there is a whole lot to scroll through when selecting the destination gallery.

This happens because there is no way to ‘collapse’ and ‘open’ folders when selecting the destination for the upload.

I have a sample of what the ’select upload’ folder looks like right now at this link:

http://martysohl.zenfolio.com/p265554540/?photo=h16C6F11C#382136604

That is about 1/3 of the total gallery structure.

Maybe there is a way to ‘collapse’ folders in the next version.

Actually, there will be, when Lightroom 2.0 is released. I added an “auto-destination” feature that builds a destination gallery for each image based upon template-based rules you write (e.g, upload to Archive > {YYYY} > {MM} > {Folder}), and because of that I suddenly had hundreds of galleries, so had to build at least a basic ability to compact their display…. —Jeffrey

Even if it can’t be done, thanks so much for this incredibly useful tool.

Mac OS X 10.5.4 / Export Ver: 20080704.46

Minor GUI glitch. When working in the Metadata & Upload Management window for Smugmug, the “example” does not wrap and the window cannot be extended horizontally. The only real problem this creates besides not being able to see the whole example is the “old style / new style” buttons are configured to stay centered; if the caption is too long these buttons can line up completely off the screen and cannot be accessed.

The workaround is to test your formatting with a file containing short content.

This problem that Caroline describes still persists and it doesn’t seem to be related to Windows this time. I use a Mac and Lightroom 1.4.1 and I have the same issue.

Could this be a Zenfolio API issue? Jeffrey, do you have any comment on this?

Thanks for this great plugin!

I’ve uploaded a new version, 20080704.48, that fixes this. Sorry for the hassels. —Jeffrey

I use the Zenfolio plugin with Lightroom 1.41 on Vista. The EXIF information is lost when uploaded using the plugin. manua upload seems to work fine. Otherwise, Great tool!

Hi it’s me again. I installed the 2.0 beta of lightroom and the problem is still there. Seems to be a windows thing… All is correct except the “caption” line.
