Great plug-in! Thank you! I recently ran into a problem. My hard drive on my MacBook Pro crashed and I reinstalled Lightroom, imported the old LR Catalog and pointed to the old JFZenfolio plugin and re-entered my registration code. However the following problems occurred:
1. I lost all the settings (no big deal, I reset them)
2. Published galleries disappeared. I used the Edit Settings dialog to show those in LR, but it shows zero photos in each gallery.
3. In the LR4 Publishing manager it shows Zenfolio’s service as (not saved). I don’t know if that was there before, but I’ve changed about every setting in there and it shows as not saved. I Didn’t know if this was just a bug because it DOES save my changes in that dialog box.

Thanks again,
-Brian

General settings are in your Lr preferences file, but publish stuff is all in the catalog. If you’re not seeing publish stuff when you load the catalog, then either the catalog is corrupt or (perhaps more likely) you’re not looking at the catalog you were using before. —Jeffrey

If you’re using the latest version, check this FAQ. —Jeffrey

Folder watch doesn’t move any file, so I’m perplexed about what you might be referring to. —Jeffrey

If you copy over your catalog file, yes, it should be fine. —Jeffrey

If you authenticate to your personal page, it should show all the galleries in all pages (including business/fan pages) that you administer. More at this FAQ. —Jeffrey

Just what I was looking for but..how do I point the Plugin Manager to the new location? I created a folder in my user/library/lightroom/Plugins as you had suggested in your install instructions. I have plugins scattered over several folders and now have moved them to the new folder. I now need to point the Plugin Manager to this folder but seem not to be able to figure it out. I also noted the Lightroom appears to enter plugins in a folder called Modules. I assume it does not matter as long as LR knows where they are.

The “Add” button in the lower left. Old entries pointing at prior locations can be removed with the “Remove” button (unless it’s grayed out when you select an item, in which case see this FAQ). —Jeffrey

The Plugin Manager states “This plugin is enabled”
The version number is: 4.0.0.814577

From a file I select Export and open the Export dialogue. There I click the Export to: drop down and your plugin is not listed.
I have umteen presets all for sending files to specified flickr folders and clicking on any of those yields: This plug-in is not installed or functioning properly.

I’m over a month behind now on posting to flickr and really getting frustrated and developing a misshapen skull from beating my head against the wall.
What exactly do I have to do to get this thing working?
Thanks,
jj

You have Adobe’s Flickr plugin installed, not mine. They don’t support normal Export, which is why nothing shows up. Download and install mine, and you’ll be good to go. —Jeffrey

I know that Adobe does not provide an option to save the publication services. Nevertheless, I would like to export their settings such that I could reimport them on the other LR-Installation.

Do you see any possibility for this.

Thanks, Bernhard

The publish services are really complex under the hood, making catalog transfer quite problematic, but on top of that, Lightroom doesn’t even provide hooks to transfer everything, so “problematic” in some cases becomes “impossible”. My Flickr plugin is so complex that transfer will certainly not work, but my other publish plugins might be handled by Alloy Photo’s Lightroom Voyeger, though I haven’t tried it. (Make ample backups if you give it a try.) —Jeffrey
