		<description>Hello,
I want to know if there are possible to convert the following parameters
OriginalWidth and OriginalHeight in cm? to position in the file name
example:  &lt;code&gt;{LibraryFilename OriginalWidth} x OriginalHeight&lt;/code&gt; pixels
                   &lt;code&gt;{LibraryFilename}&lt;/code&gt;  5907 x 8865 pixels

to

&lt;code&gt; {LibraryFilename}&lt;/code&gt; 100.0 cm x 150.1 cm


thank you

&lt;span class=&#039;jfriedl&#039;&gt;Yes, it should be possible with the &lt;b&gt;{LUA}&lt;/b&gt; token, assuming you know what resolution you want to convert with. Using your example of 59.07 pixels/cm, you&#039;d want the token: &lt;br/&gt;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&lt;b class=&#039;nobr&#039;&gt;{LUA=sprintf(&quot;%s %.1f cm x %.1f cm&quot;, FILENAME, OriginalWidth/59.07, OriginalHeight/59.07)}&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&#8212;Jeffrey&lt;/span&gt;</description>

		<description>Does the plugin dont heave any acces to those suggestions (to create token like {CitySuggestion})?

&lt;span class=&#039;jfriedl&#039;&gt;Yes, that is correct. A plugin can&#039;t know whether there are suggestions, or what they might be. I hope Adobe will grant this access in the future, but for now it&#039;s not possible. &#8212;Jeffrey&lt;/span&gt;</description>

		<description>He Jeffrey, has there been any progress about that issue?

&quot;It is possible for picasa plugin to use LR4 reverse geocoding suggestions whenever address fields are empty when using tokens like {City}, {Country} etc.? Now those suggestions are invisible. Or maybe create tokens like: {CitySuggestion}.&quot;

&lt;span class=&#039;jfriedl&#039;&gt;No, this is not the speed that Adobe works on. At best I&#039;d think it might show up in Lr5, but practically speaking it may well be something they never address. &#8212;Jeffrey&lt;/span&gt;</description>

		<description>Update to the comment on &quot;February 18th, 2012 at 3:07am JST&quot;.

Hi Jeffrey,
I&#039;ve tried to have only 4 NEF images located in one folder. The file names are 0001.NEF, 0002.NEF, 0003.NEF and 0004.NEF.

When running the plug-in, they would be outputted in the correct folder, but with these file names
0001.jpg, 0002.jpg, 0003-3.jpg and 0004-3.jpg.

There are no other files in this folder and my settings are following:
Export as JPG and resize to 640x480 at 72 PPI. No re-naming has been set.

All the best,
Chris

&lt;span class=&#039;jfriedl&#039;&gt;This is all controlled directly by Lightroom so I can only guess, but I&#039;d guess that they never want to name a JPG with the same basename as a raw file, because Lightroom normally treats that as a coupled pair, and considers the JPG a sidecar of the raw file. Since that&#039;s clearly not the case when you&#039;re creating the JPGs out of camera, they change the target filename to avoid the conflict. &#8212;Jeffrey&lt;/span&gt;</description>

		<description>Hi,
When using the plugin to make a &quot;full backup&quot; of all images in 640x480 pixel, I end up getting filenames with a &quot;-2&quot; or &quot;-3&quot; at the end of some - not all - images.

Why is that?
Using Lr 3

&lt;span class=&#039;jfriedl&#039;&gt;Because, I&#039;d guess, your file-naming rule results in the same name for multiple images. This might happen, for example, if you have virtual copies of an image, but you don&#039;t use a file-naming template that accounts for the copy name. &#8212;Jeffrey&lt;/span&gt;</description>

		<description>First, thanks for the wonderful work on this and your other plugins.  I&#039;ve found the ability to custom build captions (especially for flickr) to be very valuable.  I shoot both digital and film and since I&#039;m pretty anal about keeping my information in EXIF I&#039;m wondering the following:

I know you use Phil Harvey&#039;s EXIF tool for various things in your plugins.  Is it possible to build a token that would allow the user to input the field to be read out of EXIF for use in the caption and/or title?

I&#039;m thinking something like {EXIFtool:xmp.film} that would result in &quot;Velvia 50&quot; or whatever happens to be in that field for that image.

In short, I&#039;m looking for a way to exposure more EXIF data than what lightroom recognizes... inside your title/caption presents.

Thanks,

John

&lt;span class=&#039;jfriedl&#039;&gt;That&#039;s a good idea, except that it then requires that I bundle a full ExifTool executable with each plugin, and fire off a separate process for each caption. Those are not brick walls, but at this point enough of a weight to keep it from bubbling up on my todo list... &#8212;Jeffrey&lt;/span&gt;</description>

		<description>Hello Jeffrey,

any way to use PhotoDate with a function like &quot;add 1 month&quot;? When we publish to PicasaWeb, we&#039;d like to name the album including a &quot;online until&quot; - date which is 1 months after pictures are created (pictures should be removed after one month) and the visitors should be informed by an appendix in the name of the album.

Of course a template like {Folder}_Album_online_until_{YYYY}/{MM+1}/{DD} is not working. Any way to do this?

Regards from Germany,

&lt;div class=&#039;jfriedl&#039;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Well, it&#039;s a bit kludgy, but you can use the LUA template, along the lines of&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;{LUA=mm==&quot;12&quot; and sprintf(&quot;%04d&quot;, tonumber(yyyy)+1) or yyyy}&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;for the year,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;
{LUA=mm==&quot;12&quot; and sprintf(&quot;%02d&quot;, tonumber(mm)+1) or mm}
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;for the month, and&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;
{LUA=tonumber(dd) &lt; 28 and dd or 28}
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;for the day.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That all makes it one month from the current date... replace each &lt;b&gt;yyyy&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;mm&lt;/b&gt;, and &lt;b&gt;dd&lt;/b&gt; with their upper-case equivalents for the photo date).  &#8212;Jeffrey&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve been looking for a way to include a series/sequence number in the template the same way that the file renaming allows for (1 of 12) as part of the file name. Am I missing something really obvious?

		<description>Thanks for the great plug-in. I&#039;m hoping to use Lightroom + Zenfolio for a huge graduation portrait project at our college in Gainesville Florida, Friday April 29, 2011. The question I have is how to Publish each client image so that they are in their own client gallery? I&#039;m using the Caption -FileNumber as a unique identifier and I would like that to also be the client access code. My students will be processing 300-600 portrait sessions with 3-5 images each. I&#039;m trying to setup the publish process as simple and fast as possible. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Wes

&lt;span class=&#039;jfriedl&#039;&gt;You can use the auto-destination feature to create galleries on the fly based upon metadata, and particularly using the LUA &lt;a href=&#039;http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/template&#039; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;templat&lt;/a&gt; you can construct arbitrarily-complex ways of converting the metadata into a gallery name. But if you want more than one image in the same gallery, you&#039;ll need to ensure that those images all share some bit of metadata (e.g. a caption with the subject&#039;s name).   There&#039;s nothing in the plugin that will handle setting an access code for the gallery, so that&#039;ll have to be handled separately. But since you can have the plugin open the gallery in the browser after the upload completes, it&#039;s hopefully not too difficult to just use that page to set the access code. &#8212;Jeffrey&lt;/span&gt;</description>
