Is there an archived version of your plug-in that will work for me. I'm uploading hundreds of photos daily. Thanks a mill. Mark B. <span class='jfriedl'>I don't think Lr1.3 accepted plugins... that started in Lr1.4 if I recall. If you can bump up to at least that, <a href='http://regex.info/blog/photo-tech/lightroom1-smugmug' rel="nofollow">this copy of the plugin</a> should work, but you may well find it easier to engrave the pixels in stone and ship them by truck. Or upgrade your hardware/software. :-) —Jeffrey</span> Hi Jeff,

Make sure to look at the top of the Export dialog, and not the Publishing Manager or Plugin Manager. It really should be in the publishing manager when this comes up for Publish, but there are technical limitations that make it a challenge. —Jeffrey

The Lightroom will eat 2.5gb of memory, consume 1 CPU power and freeze (I waited for 12 hours - 100mb video file)... I am able to upload the same video using Smugmug html5 uploader without any issue. Any idea what can be wrong? Boris <span class='jfriedl'>The infrastructure Lightroom offers for uploading doesn't really scale well (it was designed for photo uploads, and was not upgraded when video support was added). There's not much I can do at this point but wait and hope for better support in the future. )-: —Jeffrey</span> Hello Jeffrey,

Wasn't sure if yours existed before LR implemented - or if they just added your plugin to the LR core. I'm assuming this "mine has extra stuff" answer applies to all the exports (e.g. Flickr, Facebook, etc.). Ah ha.

I think the difference between the Lightroom/Plug-In Smart Gallery and the SmugMug Smart Gallery is that the SmugMug version is a "virtual" gallery in that the images displayed in the SmugMug "Smart Gallery" still physically belong to the original gallery that they were located. In the "Smart Gallery" for Lightroom (and the plug-in), it appears that copies of the originally published images ARE placed in the Smart Gallery when published. In effect there is a copy created of the original, and then placed in the "Smart Folder". This seems to be unlike the SmugMug version. I'm just looking for a verification of this difference. <span class='jfriedl'>Yes, Lightroom doesn't know anything about SM smart galleries, so if you publish *into* a SM smart gallery, I'm sure it'll be publishing a new copy of the image. —Jeffrey</span> Jeffrey, that helps some, but SmugMug does have a “Smart Gallery” option that is established by rules as well (see http://help.smugmug.com/customer/portal/articles/93308).

If I create a Smart Gallery within your Plugin, and then setup my rules, it appears that any photograph impacted by that rule is actually imported into that Smart Gallery, (rather than just being associated to that/those photographs). Is this correct? Also, if I create a Smart Gallery within your plugin, inside Lightroom and then look at it's settings within the SmugMug admin tools, it doesn't show up as a "Smart Gallery" (it still shows the message "Make This Gallery Smart" within SmugMug). Is this a bug? <span class='jfriedl'>If SmugMug has anything called "Smart Galleries", they're unrelated to "Smart Galleries" in Lightroom and the plugin. In Lightroom (and hence the plugin), a smart gallery is one whose image membership is by rule, that's all. —Jeffrey</span> Jeffrey,

Can I switch to your plugin and still use those same folders. I really dont want to redo all that work of organizing. 2) if a user goes to my smugmug gallery and edits a caption or keyword, will that download back to my library so I can update my original files to preserve that data. 3) can I upload video from your plugin and will it write metadata to those files so I can see captions and keywords of video on smugmug thanks again <span class='jfriedl'>The plugin is free; you can't purchase it. There's no automatic way to replicate your smart collections, sorry. Also, the plugin does not read back changed keywords/captions from SmugMug. Video should upload with captions and keywords, though it's been a year since I tested it, but since the plugin is free, you can give it a quick try to see how it goes. —Jeffrey</span> Hi Jeffrey, I am interested in purchasing your plugin but I had a couple questions.

For example, C:\Lightroom Plugins\smugmug-jfriedl.lrplugin. I have never had a problem with any of the LR updates despite the unusual way Adobe does them which does require shortcuts to start LR to be replaced. Thanks, Jeffrey, for a great plugin. Chip,
