As I am using a macbook as well as an iMac, I sometimes face the issue to transfer the settings of an export plugin from catalog to catalog. 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

I paid paypal for the registration of this LR plugin and am awaiting a note from Paypal/confirmation with the code so that I can activate this plugin? Just want to make sure I have not been scammed and hope to hear from you with the code soon. Thanks and sincerely

PayPal should send you a confirmation right away (within seconds), and it should always be there in your PayPal history page. The transaction code from PayPal is the registration code. —Jeffrey

I am receiving an error message: Error reply from Facebook: Error invalidating access token: User 540077573 has not authorized application 12823619092 Can you please help me? Thanks, Tom Try logging out and re-authenticating (e.g. at the top of the Export dialog), but if you don't mind, first send a log after getting the error so that I can try to work in a better presentation of the error. —Jeffrey

Hello from St. Louis. Today I am getting an error “An error occurred while reading the schema for the plug-in “jf Flickr”. the plug-in will be disabled.” I have tried removing my .lrplugin folder, downloading the latest version, restarting, nothing seems to work. The log has 12 entries that look like this:

**** Error 1

An error occurred while attempting to run one of the plug-in’s scripts.
LrPrefs: attempt to write complex table value to prefs key LoginCache4::44038067@N00

That’s a bug that popped up in my plugins in Lightroom 2 that I might not be able to fix easily. If you upgrade to Lr3 or Lr4 it won’t happen, and as a bonus
you’ll get a much better workflow program and much better image quality. I’d rather not spend much time on such an old versions, so I’d like to encourage folks to upgrade… —Jeffrey

Uh, I don’t think you understand what that word means, but thank you for making my day. —Jeffrey

This may be a stupid question, but I have used your Lightroom 4 plug-in for Exposure Manager to batch upload to my gallery very successfully (using a MacBook Pro), but can’t seem to use it to export individual print-ready images to EM using your plug-in. It seems to only allow me to upload to one of my galleries. Is there a setting that I am missing where I am supposed to be able to upload images for order fulfillment? Or is this something I need to ask them? Thanks for any assistance…writing from Portland, Maine.

I’m not completely familiar with EM’s system, but I’d think you’d want to be sure to enable “ready for printing” under where you select the destination. If that doesn’t seem to be it, discuss with them what you hope the plugin can do, and ask them to phrase it to me in API-speak. —Jeffrey

Just purchases PhotoBucket but it does not show up in my publishing accounts in Lightroom 4.

It’s not a publish plugin… look for it at the top of Export. —Jeffrey

The Lightroom Twitter plugging works just as advertised and I’ll enjoy using it. One question though is why it does not show up with Publishing Services in Lightroom 3 rather than just under the export dialog? It is a publishing service isn’t it?

No, it’s not a Publishing Service. I’d think one generally needs to write the tweet specifically for each photo, and Publish implies an ongoing relationship between Lightroom and Twitter that Twitter just doesn’t support. —Jeffrey

i just downloaded the Publish Plug-ins for Picasa and Kodak Gallery. Once enabled the Kodak does not show up in the Publish Services list. can you suggest what i need to do differently?
Thank You

It’s not a Publish plugin… use it with regular export. —Jeffrey

I just upgraded my SmugMug plugin from version 1.0.1.7 to 20111008.211. The new version installs as a separate Publishing Service. I have two questions:
1. How do I move my Galleries from the old PS to the new one?
2. Is there a way to synchronize the Galleries with my SmugMug account or is it strictly a one-way Publishing Service?
Thanks,
Greg

It looks like you want to move from the Lr SmugMug plugin to mine. In that case, you can try to recreate the galleries in the new plugin (after doing the “associate” and “claim” steps discussed in the docs). It’s a strictly one-way publish, except for image comments. —Jeffrey
