    I'm using the new LR3.3RC1, and ran into a problem. I could not create a new gallery, so I tried using the Publishing Manager, and sync'ing my hierarchy. It failed, showing a dialog box that says "Your SmugMug access token for Adobe Lightroom has been revoked."

    What does this mean, and how can I fix it?

    Thanks,

    David

    I still don't know what caused this, but it can be fixed as follows. Go to your Control Panel, and revoke the permissions for the LR application. Then, go back to LR, and re-authenticate.

    Renaming on SM Publish Problem
    Hi

    I am renaming images via the SM Publish plugin in LR3.2 (in order for them to display in the order I want via SM's gallery preferences). I do it this way as some images are manually scanned and hence don't always have accurate date/time in the metadata from a digital camera.

    I notice that there does not appear to be a way to have the plugin retain the auto-incrementing integer it last used, and start incrementing from there when publishing again to the same gallery. Is this my fault or is it the way it works? I have to manually remember to provide the number into the plugin settings after looking it up via the SM gallery on my site. I often forget and this messes the gallery up.

    Thanks for any assistance in advance.

    THis is an issue across the board with LR Exports/Publish/Rename (AFAIK) which many have asked to be addressed. Have not seen it yet.

    Thanks for the quick reply Don. ...hard to believe that such a basic functionality gap is in a product which already got to v3.2

    I read this whole thread thinking it must have been related to the SM plugin. Anyway, someone above wrote that LR3.3 RC1 is out, and I wondered if this issue was fixed?

    Lightroom republish
    I have been searching through this thread and can't seem to find an answer, but then I might not understand the terminology.
    I have used the Publish to SmugMug feature and somehow got double the amount of items listed. I need to be able to reset the publish number to zero so that it will NOT republish. I think it had to do with me renaming the images.
    My end goal is to be able to have a copyrighted image online (so that downloads have a copyright on them) and to be able to replace it, when they purchase a print, with a non-copyrighted version.
    People on this thread seem to know what you are doing.

    I am not an expert, but I think that the renaming of the files is what caused the change. I think that not changing the name would solve your issue, as my understanding is that is the way that the plugin lines up the too images. Have you tried doing a Sync? I am not sure if it will fix it, but it couldn't hurt.

    I have a question about this plugin that I haven't seen answered here. I upload my photos to Smugmug at a fairly low resolution, and with minimal post processing, just so I can get them online quickly. As photos are sold, I go back and do any final retouching and upload a high resolution version to print. I was wondering how to do this using the publish service. If I modify the photo in Lightroom , will it then republish it as the printable version? Or is there a better way to go about this. Thanks

    Some of this is achievable in Lightroom if I understand what you are asking to do, and some of it is done on SmugMug. The only step I am getting a little puzzled on is the different resolutions. In SmugMug you can set the largest viewable size for the gallery so that the image displayed is smaller sized. Then when they order the image, you can fully process and republish that image and even though it is displayed at the smaller size, the print will be from the processed image you uploaded. I would also recommend putting in the Print Delay feature to allow yourself time to do this task.

    I would not recommend changing the resolution and quality each time you want to do something in the LR Plugin as that will prompt you to republish everything with the new settings.

    Hope that helps.

    There are several folks who have asked the question regarding applying Quick Settings and getting the following error:
    An internal error has occurred: bad argument #1 to 'pairs' (table expected, got nil).

    Haven't seen an answer as of yet.

    Anyone know of a fix to this issue?

    Thanks.

    I'm having the same problem. I've been in touch with the help desk through email. They sent me a beta of the publish plugin to try, but I haven't been able to install it. It just won't install! At this point I've given up. Tired of the back and forth.

    I was getting this error when applying quick settings and I finally found a fix for me. I read on several sites it may be metadata issues so I went to Edit Settings on Smugmug publishing and checked minimize embedded metadata. Next I re-synced and saved the changes. I created a new test gallery and applied quick settings successfully with no error! I don't necessarily want to strip metadata from my images but if it will fix the problem for now I'll live with it for now. You may want to try this out and I hope it works for you all as well.

    Quick Setting Watermark Bug?
    I came to this thread to explain what I think I happening in a watermark bug when using Quick Settings. I have one called "Preview (watermarked)" that limits file size and places my preferred custom watermark setting. When I create a new collection/gallery in the LR plugin, the main dialog box allows me to choose my quick setting & generates the gallery. I upload a photo and it contains the default centered word "photo" SM watermark.

    Upon further research, when I create a new gallery, go to the Advanced Settings and choose my quick setting, it is in fact turning on the watermark checkbox, but not selecting my custom watermark from the drop menu. When I manually select the custom watermark from the drop menu the gallery works as intended.

    Thought I'd pass this along in case this specific behavior from the simple setup view was not already identified. Love the plug-in. Thanks!

    P.S. Looking forward to sort order syncing in future releases as has been described in this thread. Especially when republishing changes it would be most helpful if photos stayed identified what is online, even if the numerical position has changed in the sort order.

    EDIT: Also found another unusual watermark behavior. When I republish/update an image to a gallery that uses a custom watermark, the watermark is sized incorrectly. On initial publish it is correct, but when republishing it is much smaller.

    Hello
    Something I'd like to be able to manage with this nice plug-in is about the virtual photos.
    Do you think it would be possible to identify a mechanism in LR to publish virtual copies if a photo is already in an another gallery ?

    Actually for those photos, once they are published i'd like to see the link "see photo in the original gallery" without having to collect them manually while I'm on line.

    Thanks

    Lightroom Quick setting doesnt work
    Hello
    I started to publish my galleries through Lightroom. I had two quick settings that I used before Lightroom plugin and then made a couple of more.

    Problem is that any new quick settings I make, they dont work in Lightroom, only the old ones do.

    When I try to apply new quick setting I get this message : An internal error has occurred: bad argument #1 to 'pairs' (table expected, got nil)

    What could be the problem?

    Thank you

    Kevin,

    Unfortunately, that is a limitation of Lightroom's SDK.

    Sync
    Any news on the release of the sync capabilities?

    Hate to see empty collections on Lightroom for galleries which are full of images on Smugmug.
    Love the ability to see comments on Lightroom and want that for old galleries too.

    Congratulations on the smooth implementation of creating new galleries directly on Lightroom. Beats the site interface any day!!!!!

    Cheers

    Replacing images from Lightroom
    My basic workflow for sports is to import the RAW images into Lightroom immediately following a game, do some mostly automated processing and upload the keepers to my site. Then, over the next couple of days do some additional processing to the best images from that game (or by request for prints).

    The original copies are RAW/Adobe dng files but the re-processed images are going to be separate psd or tiff files. Once uploaded to my site, they're all obviously jpgs.

    I can easily enough update the original dng and replace it on the site bit I can find no way to replace the original with the version edited in photoshop. If I delete the dng version and then upload the psd in it's place, all the links become invalid. Having permanent links for email, social media, etc. is critical.

    Is there any way to replace the original with a new version?

    Hi there,

    Is there any word on whether or not the ability to sharpen photos in the plug-in has been added in LR 3.3? If not, is it still coming?

    Thanks!

    I am hoping that the updates to the plugin will be more frequent than the updates to LR, and that video support will be enabled soon.

    Thought I'd add to the requests for video support. Love the LR3 integration with SmugMug, but having to separately upload my videos is a drag. :) Not sure if this is on the to-do list still or not, but seems like I am starting to take more video mixed with stills with my D7000 so would like to have this support.

    Thanks. thumb.gif

    Any way to copy from old publish service ?
    Hi. I publish to SM via Hard Drive publishing services and then upload to SM. Is there any way to copy these to new SM publish services within Lightroom? I don't want to retype every gallery name and the whole structure and then copy more than 10000 virtual copies. I tried to dragdropcopy the published folder sets and folders but that does not work. Any idea, anyone ?
