Congrats on the plugins! Keep up posted!

Trying out the Zenfolio plug-in and it looks great, logging into Zenfolio just fine. However, during the FTP process I get the following error which others have been able to reproduce as well. Any thoughts on how to resolve this?

An Internal Error Has Occurred: Win32 API error (unknown error — FormatMessageW failed) when calling HttpSendRequest from private_agHttpClient_post_L

Excellent Jeffrey,You just rock. Are you really a first time user of Lua ?( It surprises me !)

You must be having lot of scripting years with other languages!.
I just started learning Lua and this is my first step in programming and Lightroom made me to foray into programming field though my field of interest is Digital Imaging.
Thank you for providing the excellent scripts in a short span of its release.

Still getting the same error reported by Paul on the 22nd when uploading full size shots. Tried 1123.3. Running it for a single shot, the shot still gets exported to Zenfolio, but the error appears before the file has finished transmitting. Is there a better place/way for providing you information that might help in troubleshooting?

I’m out of ideas, so we’ll have to wait until after the holidays for Adobe to come back online….—Jeffrey

I’m getting the same HttpSendRequest error on my computer, which is running Vista. I’m wondering if it has anything to do with machines that are running .NET 2.0, since that’s installed in Vista by default and can be upgraded for XP…

I’ve been messing around and it’ll upload images that are less than exactly 2 MB +- like .01 MB… I don’t know if that helps or not…

I noticed the same thing with the Adobe-provided flickr plugin, so I wonder if it’s a limitation of the Flickr API or a problem in the Flickr interface with something different about .NET 2.0…

Jeffrey,

Previously, I was getting the ‘FormatMessageW failed’ error. Now, after checking the ‘Enable HTTP Error Trapping’ box, I am getting a new error message:

An internal error has occurred: [string “zenfolio.lua”]:214:attempt to index local ‘Result Headers’ (a nil value)

I am able to upload one photo at a time. If I try to upload more than one, only one is successful.

Running Windows XP SP2, LR 1.3

All keywords drawn from Lightroom come across to Zenfolio as quoted “multiword groups” with a space prepended to them. Is this possibly caused by a parsing error dealing with lightroom’s keyword list (which seems to be comma+space delimited)?

Great work on this, by the way; it has made Zenfolio an order of magnitude more pleasurable to use. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the work put into it!

Finally fixed (thanks to your help, Aaron) in version x.14 —Jeffrey

Thank you again for this and for all the updates… chas

I also got the error message listed above after initially having no problem. I am uninstalling and reinstalling the newer version tonight. I really appreciate your developing and posting this. Great service!

I have reinstalled and am getting a strange message when I try to post an image to my public galleries account: No images to process. All were filtered out.

When I select the same photo(s) to burn a file, it works without problem. When I use the uploader winder to put that photo on the zenfolio site, no problem.

Sorry, a broken version was available for an hour or so, and you got it. Upgrade to .22 and you’ll be fine. —Jeffrey

A great service would be rendered if you made a version to work with Phafare. As you probably know Andrew has seriously reverted from his original plan for this site and literally thousands of folk will be switching to another site and Zenfolio is one being talked about most often. Hope it happens
Ralph

Very good…thanks!

Looks like you can login to your Zenfolio account with your email address which is what I typically do. I found my username (different from my email address) and it logs in, finds my galleries, and uploads with precision. Sorry for the comment spam, but hopefully if there is anyone else logging in with their email address, this will help. Thanks for the great plugin. Much appreciated.

Fixed in x.25, thanks for the heads up! —Jeffrey

Hi Jeffrey,

Thanks for the plugin.

Hi! great plugin set!
I’ve some problems: I tried successfully flickr and picasa plugin, but with one for zenfolio I can’t upload Tiff images and jpg upload sometimes is really tricky, even if I check the famous checkbox for ignoring errors…

It tells me that images are published, but when I go to see on website, there aren’t traces of them.

what can I do?
ah, I forgot, happy holidays to you and to everyone here!

Hi, I keep getting this message. Any ideas.

There is an error in XML document (8, 157).

had the same problem, turning the mention options off correct the problem
Great plugin, thanks!

Hi, I have downloaded your plugin and installed it fine. I export the photos to Zenfolio but when I go there the image never loads. It show thatthe image has been uploaded, meaning there is a icon but no image. What could I be doing wrong? I am a Mac user running 10.4.11. BTW I did have the same error message as above but I turned off some of the options and it seems to have gone.

I just installed version 20080122.33 on Mac OS X 10.5.1, Lightroom 1.3.1. I’m getting error “Can’t us plugin; the plugin had an internal error” message. BTW, I like the plugin…thanks for all the hard work!

Sorry about that, should be fixed in .34 —Jeffrey

I also have the EXIF stripped out – I am going from DNG to Tiff and then have LR/mogrify make jpgs. I have not checked the box minimise embedded metadata

Since today I got an error when I tried to login and export pictures to Zenfolio

“unable to create a temporary class (result=1) Error CS0200 : Property or indexer ‘Zenfolio.web.api.ojects.apiphoto.Rotationspecified’ cannot be assigned to – its read only

I noticed other people are having the same problem.

Let me know of any solutions. Thanks in advance for all your time and trouble. Love the program.

Dave

This smells like a problem on Zenfolio’s side, as if they need to reboot their servers or something. Please report it to them; they know how to contact me if it’s something on my side. Note, though, that I’m in Japan, so I’m on the opposite side of the am/pm clock, and am heading to bed just as the US is waking up. —Jeffrey

Regarding Adobe RGB vs sRGB etc. The Colorspace Warning extra info states: “Note: Regardless, Zenfolio converts non-sRGB images to sRGB for display.”
I find it a little confusing. Because it only converts the 7 web viewable versions it generates of the uploaded images. The actual images themselves retain whatever profile they have on them if you download original.

What about it is confusing? As you and the warning both say, the images displayed by Zenfolio are converted to sRGB. It seems you understand it perfectly. —Jeffrey

Hi,
i’m a very happy user of your plugin ! I just installed version 20080314.40 on Mac OS X 10.5.2, Lightroom 1.4. I’m getting error “[string “Zenfolio.lua”]:1961: attempt to call field ‘update_data’ (a nil value)” message. By ‘Upload Management’ – ‘All: process all selected images ( )’ – > The ( ) is empty the others are zero ( 0 )
Thanks for all the hard work! Erwin

Yikes, I accidentally left some in-progress work in the release I pushed yesterday. Sorry. Please pull the latest and it should now work. —Jeffrey

Hello, I’ve been seeing this issue with the past few releases. Not sure if it is the plugin or Lightroom…

I have made a export preset with my settings and to use the Zenfolio plugin… I right click my photo, select that export preset, it brings up the box that normally asks me which gallery to toss into and it says I am not logged in.

So I open up the “mother export” window, and it logs into Zenfolio and then I can press the export button and everything works right… this is annoying… I would like to do what I used to be able to do – which was just right click, select my plugin, select the gallery, and export.

Running Windows XP and Lightroom 1.4.1 (I am going to guess it is Lightroom’s fault)

I like the plug in but I am only able to upload one file at a time. I get internet connection down? But I am connected.Windows vista

Wow- Great plug in. Lightroom and Zenfolio now talk.

Hi, like the flickr plugin i like this one very much. There are some things I would like to see thow: I have some keywords with extra synonyms in it (for example a bird species with as synonym the latin name). In the flickr plugin those synonyms are exported as well; in the zenfolio version I have to place them manually (or make extra keywords in lightroom, which makes it a mess). Would be nice if they were exported automatically. Second, the flickr plugin also exports the location data (city etc), would be nice if the zenfolio plugin did that to.

Would that be possible? I will love you for it till the end of time 😉

Hi,

I have lightroom 1.4.1 and I cannot locate an updated plugin.
Is there a new plug in or do I have to go back to 1.3

thanks
Keith

I have noticed in your latest plug-in update for Zenfolio “20080523.44 zip” I am now getting a “lr.log” file placed on my desktop whenever I open Lightroom. The file is empty.

What is the purpose of the file and is there a way to de-activate the file creation?

I know I can just delete the file each time I use Lightroom from my desktop, but it does seem like an unecessary action.

Thank you for all the effort you have put into this plug-in. It works great.

David Brady

Sorry ’bout that… that was just laziness on my part. I’ve pushed a new version (20080606.45) that writes the log to the documents directory, and only does it when it actually has something important to write (which shouldn’t be anything for the Zenfolio plugin). —Jeffrey

Hi Jeffrey:

Got you revised plug-in “22080606.45” regarding the lr.log file. Sorry to say, it is still writting the file to the desktop. You have to stay off that strong coffee. Looking forward to the revised- revised file.

Thanks again for all your effort and quick response.

I have been trying new style title and caption presets. I have tried modifying the standard and creating new presets. I place the word “title” in the title preset and “caption” in the caption preset. I have never been able to get a caption to appear on Zenfolio. If I used the standard interface the title and caption come out correctly on Zenfolio. I may be missing something. I have read the help. Any suggestions? Vista64.

“20080704.49 Oops, was sending the same text for both title and caption… now fixed. Really. (I think.)” It’s fixed for me, thank you for creating and maintaing this plugin.

Hello Jeffrey,

Thanks for the zenfolio plug-in. I am new to zenfolio, and still learning Lightroom (which I love!) I have begun to do more project oriented photography and event photography for other people, and am needing a simple way of publishing albums of photos where clients can order what they want directly, without my having to fulfill orders. After looking through several options, zenfolio looks the best, so I set up a trial account. Last night, I tried the first upload, using the export to zenfolio option (via your plug-in). I am using LR 1.3.1. In my first attempt, I inadvertently clicked the export button before having completed the information in the export window. As a result, the exporting began, and I had to click the red ‘X’ in the export progress window at top left to cancel the export. But the two commands (‘export’ and ‘cancel’ seemed to hang in some kind of limbo for a very long time. I came back later, and it appeared to be done, so I redid the export process, this time being careful not to hit whatever it was (return? space bar?) before I’d filled out all fields. When that was done, I clicked on the ‘export’ button, and the exporting began. There were 64 full size jpegs selected (average of 5 MB each, on the outside chance that the dance company I was photographing wants to order larger prints for publicity purposes.) The uploading took a very long time, and when it was completed, I went to my zenfolio account and found that the earlier upload appeared there as well. So there were 4 folders, two labeled as ‘exported from Lightroom’ and ‘previous export from Lightroom’, and two folders labeled with the album name I gave to the group I was uploading to. (Please excuse this long-winded explaination!) It was my intention at this point, to have one album, on my zenfolio site, period. I want to understand how to do this so that I can take advantage of the export from Lightroom feature, but end up with only the album I am saving to visible on the page. Here’s the question: will there always be one folder identified as ‘export from LR’, and a second identified by the album name I give it? All images appear in each album or folder. (The export from LR appears as a folder, and the album as an album. But each one appears to have all the photos! I went ahead and deleted the earlier album, but am trying to understand about the ‘export from LR’ folder is for, and what to do with it. They appear in both the edit view, and the visitor view.

There should be checkboxes in the Export Dialog that turn on/off the “exported from” and “previous export” collections, in the “Upload Management” section. I haven’t used the LR1.x version of the plugin in ages, but I know they’re there. —Jeffrey
