features depend on the\nversion of Lightroom).<\/p>\n\n<p>The same download works for both Windows and Mac. <span class='nobr'>See the box<\/span> to the upper right for the download link (in orange) and installation instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class='h'>Overview<\/p>\n\n<p>The plugin currently addresses two unrelated issues with image deletion...<\/p>\n\n<ul><li><p>When you invoke a delete operation on <span class='nobr'>a photo<\/span> or group of photos, Lightroom sometimes deletes virtual copies that you have not selected. <span class='nobr'>It would<\/span> be better if Lightroom didn't silently delete extra things you didn't ask for. <span class='nobr'>The plugin<\/span> alerts you to this via its &#8220;<a href='#vcp'>Virtual-Copy Protection<\/a>&#8221; feature.<\/p><\/li>\n\n<li><p>When you delete a file from Lightroom that happens to be &#8220;offline&#8221; at the moment (e.g. on an external disk that is not currently attached),\n        Lightroom lets the delete happen even though this leaves the master image file orphaned on the external disk. <span class='nobr'>It would<\/span> be better if\n        Lightroom would alert you to the situation so you could abort the delete operation if you wanted. <span class='nobr'>The plugin<\/span> handles the alert for you via its\n&#8220;<a href='#omfp'>Orphan Master-File Protection<\/a>&#8221; feature.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>You can use either feature, or both (though the latter feature is supported only from Lr5).<\/p>\n\n<p class='h' id='vcp'>Virtual-Copy Protection<\/p>\n\n<p><b>The Problem: <\/b> when <span class='nobr'>a delete<\/span> operation\nis invoked in Lightroom, if <span class='nobr'>a selected<\/span> master\nimage has virtual copies that are not selected, the unselected virtual\ncopies are silently deleted as well. This could be <span class='nobr'>a big<\/span> problem if you\ndidn't realize the other virtual copies existed; their existence may mean\nthat you want to actually keep some of the master image files that are\nabout to be deleted, so it'd be nice to be warned in these cases.<\/p>\n\n<p>When this plugin's <i>Virtual-Copy Protection<\/i> is active, you get\nsuch <span class='nobr'>a warning,<\/span> <span class='nobr'>a dialog<\/span> that lets you decide how\nto proceed:<\/p>\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/i\/lr\/workflow-delete-options-VC-warning.png\" width=\"650\" height=\"208\"\nclass=\"ic raw\"\nid=\"iworkflow_delete_options_VC_warning\"\/>\n\n<p>If you hadn't been expecting this, it's your opportunity to isolate the\nrelevant photos to <span class='nobr'>a collection<\/span> so that you can inspect them and then take\naction as you see fit.<\/p>\n\n<p class='h' id='omfp'>Orphan Master-File Protection<\/p>\n\n<p><b>The Problem:<\/b> with Smart Previews introduced in Lr5, it's\neasy to forget that you might be working with photos whose master image is\nnot currently available (because, for example, it's on <span class='nobr'>a network<\/span> drive\nthat's not connected, or an external drive that's not attached). <span class='nobr'>If you delete<\/span> such <span class='nobr'>a photo<\/span> from Lightroom, the master-image file is not deleted as\nit would be had the drive been connected, thus leaving &#8220;orphan&#8221; master\nimage files that are no longer connected to anything in Lightroom.<\/p>\n\n<p>So, as a matter of workflow policy, you might wish to be alerted when\ntrying to delete <span class='nobr'>a file<\/span> whose master image is not\navailable. This plugin's <i>Orphan Master-File Protection<\/i> feature does\nthat, alerting you to an impending delete of an image that <i>does<\/i> have\n<span class='nobr'>a Smart<\/span> Preview, but <i>does not<\/i> have access to its master image\nfile.<\/p>\n\n<div style='background-color: #111; border: solid 2px #877; margin: 10px 3em; padding: 10px 1em'>\n<p>As an aside, I'll mention that <a\nhref='\/blog\/lightroom-goodies\/photosafe'>my PhotoSafe plugin<\/a>\nis another useful tool for image preservation in Lightroom, allowing\nyou to mark specific photos as &#8220;not deletable&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n<p>You might use it, for example, to ensure that you don't delete any five-star photos,\nor photos that you've published to an external site, etc.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class='h'>Setup<\/p>\n\n<p>This <i>Workflow Delete Options<\/i> plugin piggybacks on Lightroom's\n&#8220;Publish&#8221; infrastructure to provide its protection, so to set\nit up, after <a\nhref='\/blog\/lightroom-goodies\/plugin-installation'>installing<\/a>\nthe plugin, visit the &#8220;jf Workflow Delete Options&#8221; publish\nservice in the &#8220;Publish Services&#8221; section of Library. Clicking\non &#8220;Set up&#8221; brings up <span class='nobr'>a configuration<\/span> dialog.<\/p>\n\n<p>In the configuration dialog, you can choose one or both features (though\nonly one is available in Lr4).<\/p>\n\n<p>When you finally create the publish service via the &#8220;Save&#8221;\nbutton, the plugin will make one publish collection that includes your\nentire library, aptly named &#8220;Entire catalog&#8221;. <\/p>\n\n<p>Until images are actually &#8220;published&#8221; in that collection,\nthey are not subject to the plugin's protection, so it's important to\npublish the collection soon, and the plugin will offer to do this. <span\nclass='nobr'>The very first<\/span> publish could take <span class='nobr'>a\nwhile<\/span> (for example, <span class='nobr'>a couple<\/span> of hours on my laptop for my\n130,000-image library), but after that it goes much faster.<\/p>\n\n<p class='h' id='bg'>Background Helpers<\/p>\n\n<p>As you add new images to Lightroom, the nature of the plugin's &#8220;Entire\ncatalog&#8221; collection draws them in automatically, but they are not\n&#8220;published&#8221; automatically, and so they are not subject to protection\nautomatically.<\/p>\n\n<p>To get around this, the plugin automatically scans for photos to publish\n(and publishes them) when Lightroom starts, and optionally, every so often\nwhile Lightroom is running. <span class='nobr'>The default<\/span> is to perform <span class='nobr'>a publish<\/span> scan every 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n<p class='h'>Availability<\/p>\n<p>This plugin is distributed as &#8220;donationware&#8221;. I have chosen to make it available for free &mdash; everyone can use\nit forever, without cost of any kind &mdash; but unless registered, its functionality is somewhat reduced after six weeks.<\/p>\n\n<p>Registration is done via PayPal, and if you choose to register, it costs the minimum 1-cent PayPal fee; any amount you'd like\nto add beyond PayPal's sliding fees as a gift to me is completely optional, and completely appreciated.<\/p>\n\n<p id='majorupgrade'><b>Note<\/b>: a Lightroom <i>major<\/i> upgrade, such as from Lr10 to Lr11 de-registers the plugin in the\nupgraded version, so if you want to maintain registration, a new ($0.01 if you like) registration code is needed in the upgraded\nversion.
