After reading through the above I think it’s great what you have done. I’m guessing that in order to use this feature you need to have an active account versus a trial period. Is this a corect assumption?

Uh, I fixed my uploading problem by deleting the plugin in both LR 1.4 & 2.0, then reloading the latest version, (which I thought I had previously loaded…) and zook! Flawless uploads as usual. Can’t find rhyme or reason as to why both my copies of LR were selecting the old plugin versions, but they can’t now ’cause I deleted them. Thanks again for your cool plugin.

The {State} token does not work (Vista w/ SP1) for the newest plugin 20080714.47.
Even if I just use {State}, it doesnt work.
Anyone else seeing this?

Hi Jeffrey

I wanted to activate the “run any command” piglet. I get an error telling me it’s not possible to list the piglets. The error shows the failed command. I tried it in a command window and it worked. The reason for it is probably my user name “Jürg” with an umlaut. Since the command window uses a different char-set from ansi, it doesn’t find the path.
There is a windows api function to convert from ansi to oem. That might help. I’d be very grateful if you could fix this problem.

Otherwise the plugin is great. Thanks a lot for your dedicated work!

Regards Jürg

Hi Jeffrey
If I can’t upgrade to get it working, how do I un-install the plugin to try to re-install the latest?
Thanks

Hi!

Got a little feature request for you. Could we have an option to automatically set the subfolder name for local copies of files to match the name of the gallery photos are uploaded to?

That would save a little bit of typing

Thanks for a great plug-in, Jeffrey!

The “save local copy” feature will actually go away in the 2.0 version, because it’s built into Lightroom. FWIW, You’ll be able to automatically set the upload destination based upon the file’s Lightroom folder, though. —Jeffrey

Hi again

I still get errors and it won’t upgrade to the latest version, as mentioned above.

Could you please advise?

Kind regards

Any sort of ETA for an update that supports the new “upload any file, especially RAW” feature of smugmug? I tried uploading CR2 (Canon RAW format) files with the current release and it complains about not being able to figure out the file’s MIME type and aborts.

…then you released the 20080702 version and my results were (I emailed this to you a few days ago but I guess it slipped past):

The upload goes swimmingly until the last image… at that point, my network activity meter (outbound) goes to 0. After some time, I get a dialog box that says “timed out”. Oh, just got a new one:

“Error response from SmugMug:
wrong format ()

Aborting after 0 of images successfully uploaded”

I varied the number of selected photos and it always hangs on the last one. The network meter shows outbound activity for all the photos up to the last one.
…

Of the six images I attempted to upload, one of them did partially make it but apparently not intact enough for smugvault’s browser to recognize it as a known file type, or something (the indicators are vague at best).

I don’t know what to say… that failure mode doesn’t ring a bell, and I can’t test it myself. )-: —Jeffrey

I just downloaded the plugin and I’m using it to upload images to smugmug now. I’ve noticed that it’s only using the keywords that are directly applied to the images themselves and not any of the synonyms or containing keywords that I have defined. I’ve got all of the keyword stuff checked and these get set and written when I export to a file.

I’m guessing that there are two likely reasons for this:

1. I’m being dense and not checking the right box.

2. The plugin doesn’t know about synonyms or containing keywords.

I’m quite happy to hear that it is number one and be pointed to what I should be doing.

Thanks for doing the work on this plugin Jeffrey. It Rocks!

It’s #2. Hopefully, the plugin will get more info in 2.0… —Jeffrey
