The photo on disk is never considered/touched/influenced/protected/diddled/etc by this plugin. This plugin is concerned only with the entry for the photo in the Lightroom catalog. —Jeffrey</span> Jefferey,

Yes and yes. The photo on disk is never considered/touched/influenced/protected/diddled/etc by this plugin. This plugin is concerned only with the entry for the photo in the Lightroom catalog. —Jeffrey

Particularly if you've output photos in a specific way, it'd be nice to be absolutely sure that they haven't changed since you did so. Snapshots and checking history are of course a workaround for now, but not very practical over a volume. I’ll put in a vote for a settings lock too.

You remove your red flag) is it no longer protected? Or do you have to do something to intentionally remove it once it's added via the smart collection? <span class='jfriedl'>To <a href='http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/photosafe#unprotecting' rel="nofollow">unprotect</a> an image, you have to remove it from PhotoSafe completely, meaning that once it's in the "Deleted Photos to Remove" state, you have to Publish it to finally get it out and release the lock on photo deletion. It's a bit less convenient/intuitive than it could be, but with this plugin I'm way outside the envelope for what Publish was designed for. —Jeffrey</span> If an image is automatically removed from a smart publish collection in photosafe (eg.

How can I delete a Photosafe Publish collection.

I set ne up as a test and want to unprotect the images.

You can unprotect specific images by deleting them from the Photosafe collection, but to delete the whole Publish Service, right click on the name and select “Delete”. —Jeffrey

I am so clumsy and am amazed that I haven't deleted any of my important photos yet. I do photography for "a living" and the loss of some of my key photos could be devastating. Thanks for creating such a great addition to Lightroom and helping me to rest a little easier! What a great plugin! I am so clumsy and am amazed that I haven’t deleted any of my important photos yet.

I've noticed a few people on the forums requesting a 'Read Only' setting. Maybe this plugin could be extended so that images can also be protected from further change. Mike <span class='jfriedl'>Yeah, that was pretty much the first extra thing I thought of, but I've bit off way to much this month, so I want to see how it's received before I start investing more into it..... —Jeffrey</span> Great idea!

Thanks for continuing to think ahead of Adobe in terms of what users want/need in Lightroom. This one can be a life-saver. <span class='jfriedl'>Thanks for your kind words, but I don't think it's fair to characterize the situation as my "thinking ahead of Adobe". We're in very different situations... they have millions of customers and shareholders to answer to, so they're much more free than I am.... I answer to my wife. :-) —Jeffrey</span> Great work as always! Thanks for continuing to think ahead of Adobe in terms of what users want/need in Lightroom. This one can be a life-saver.
