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.

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.

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
