another issue is that I'll publish a whole folder, and not touch the images - but ones will upload and then be marked for re-publish. Sometimes 20-30 of them. This wastes my time and bandwidth, and there is no way to uncheck them for re-publish. Also no reason that they should be.
Constantly have photos fail to upload, even on my fast work connection.
oh i'm on LR 3.3, Mac OSX 10.6.6 - 8GM Ram Intel i7 with an Intel 510 Series 120GB SSD.
Do you have the option 'Write Keywords as Lightroom Hierarchy' selected ? If so, that is the cause of the photos being reset to republish. It's a known LR issue that has been resolved for the next dot release.
This one is an edge case, but it required me to do a force quit of Lightroom.
I am running a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.6.4, using the internal display with a resolution of 1440 x 900. Using Lightroom 3.2 and experimenting with Smart Collections and Advanced Gallery Settings in Lightroom. When I did that it created a dialog box too large for my screen and I could not exit out/advance from it. The results look like this (click for larger)
Steps to recreate the issue
1) Set resolution to 1440x900 (highest option for my internal display)
2) Launch LR3.2
3) Define Publishing service for SmugMug
4) Under SmugMug Settings select Show Advanced Gallery Dialog
5) Save settings
6) Right Click (there might be another way but this is how I got there) on the SmugMug Publish Service in the left hand pane. Select "Create Smart Gallery"
7) On my machine I did not have access to the Cancel and Create buttons
8) Force Quit was only way I had to exit that dialog box.
Let me know if you have any questions or need more information.
If you have this issue, you should do the following...
1. Deselect 'Show Advanced Gallery Dialog.
2. To access the Advanced gallery dialog, select 'Advanced Settings...' from the bottom of the Quick Settings list box..which will open a new dialog over the existing one.
I should also mention, this is a limitation of the LR SDK...there is no way to make that page scrollable so everything fits.
Just started the LR Smugmug publishing service. Love it.
Noticed that the upload of images is pretty good. But e.g. keyword updates later tend to be very slow. For instance I just changed keywords on 25 images in a gallery with 25 photos and it is very slow. Is this normal?
Unfortunately, due to the way Adobe has implemented the Publish framework (which sits on top of the existing Export framework), at the point that the file actually gets uploaded, there is no way to determine why it's being uploaded...whether the user has only modified metadata or physically altered the image. So given that, we have to reupload the image.
As soon as I have some alternative, I'll implement it.
I have configure LR3.3 to publish to smugmug into the appropriate gallery. 2 photos got timed-out, so LR3.3 shows New Photos to publish: 2, but it also shows: Modified photos to re-publish: 51.
The problem is with the modified photos to re-publish. They were already uploaded this afternoon, they are already in my galleries.
So by clicking on the publish, it's trying again to to re-push everything because 2 photos in the batch did not upload.
1. How can I fix that?
2. Is there a better way?
Thanks
***********************************
Next day:
Now Lightroom shows 53 photos that need to be republished.
Somehow the publish doesn't know that everything has been transferred.
Now it want to re-publish all the photos in the gallery
Somehow LR3.3 doesn't recognize that the photos are already published. This has already happened twice.
Is it a bug? or is it me who hasn't configured something either in LR or on SM? or...
Do you have the option selected 'Write Keywords as Lightroom Hierarchy' ?
If so, the behaviour that you are experiencing is a known LR issue, that their dev team tells me should be fixed in the next release.
Disabling this option will stop the undesired resetting of photos to be published. I'd like to also note that determining when a photos is required to be republished is the job of LR and not the plugin.

Bug aside what to you suggest/recommend as the better config for SM keyword hierarchy or not (after upgrading to 3.4).
Thanks for the help.
BTW, are you an independent or working for SM? I've looked/searched and may have missed it through all the threads. Somebody should aggregate all that info in the wiki.

I'm a SmugMug developer...but I'm slack and haven't updated my dgrin footer. There is a thread on who the SmugMug people are.
Passwords, Videos, and Upload Errors
I have three questions.
1) I use Quick Settings that set my galleries' passwords and password hints. When I select a Quick Setting in this plugin, it leaves both of those blank. Is this intentional, to prevent exposing them? Or a bug, or something I'm doing wrong? When I use Quick Settings on the SmugMug to create a gallery using the interactive web interface, these values are filled in. I would prefer Quick Settings on the plugin to work the same way it does in the web interface.
2) Video upload is disabled in the current version of the plugin (at least with LR 3.3 and 3.4RC). Smugmug advertises seamless integration of video, and some time ago, you indicated that video would be enabled in a future update to this plugin. What are the plans for video, and when do you anticipate enabling/supporting it?
3) When I publish galleries, I usually have a small number of images that fail to upload. Usually, simply hitting the publish button again takes care of this. Do you have any suggestions on how to improve the robustness of this? Or of best practices to make this a smooth process? I assume that the plugin itself tries a couple of times when an image fails, right? If not, I'd suggest that might be a very useful enhancement.

There are a couple of reasons why we choose to ship without video support. At the point when we had to provide Adobe with our final plugin code, the video plugin support was still a bit flaky. Additionally, from our side uploading videos could potentially result in more timeouts, which would result in videos having to be republished. So we decided that it was best to ship the plugin with support for our core business...and bring on video support when it was going to be a better user experience for our customers. We are in the process of finalising some backend uploading stuff which should allow video uploading to be supported in the plugin.

As above, we are in the process of rolling out some backend uploading changes which should dramatically reduce, if not eliminate these issues.
And it's never been a better time to be Smug: Open a new trial account through Lightroom 3 and automatically get 20% off your first year. Adobe is also sharing a sweet 15% discount for Smuggers when they purchase Lightroom 3 or any Adobe product.
Questions? Comments? Please post right here in this thread. We're watching.
This sounds like a bug, I'll investigate.

Looking forward to these back-end improvements, bug fixes, and feature enhancements!
Along with others, I'm looking forward to see some kind of two way sync soon.
Can I ask that it be available at gallery or category level? I suspect it will be very time consuming once it is in place, and that's fine by me if I can break it up into gallery or category level tasks. I tried Jeffery's sync, but after nearly 12 hours it was still looking for things.
Part of that problem was that I do work with two LR catalogs, and the one I initially tried to sync has maybe 200 images on smugmug out of the 4,000 that are there. The other 3800 I want to sync to a different LR catalog. This would not be a problem for me if I could pick a gallery and ask that the images there by synced with LR, with option to download missing ones. (or to locate them one by one).
Thanks, take your time and do it right. Though, of course, I want it yesterday, :-)

The syncing part is easy, it can be done at the gallery level or category level no problem with that. The issue is that the LR SDK doesn't really give the plugin much control over adding elements within Lightroom itself. Ideally, I'd love to have it as an item in the context menu of the tree when you right-click...but LR doesn't currently allow that.
There are some other options to investigate that aren't as elegant, but would be a workable solution.

Have you looked at how AnyFile works? http://www.johnrellis.com/lightroom/anyfile.htm
I would like having a flag, though not as big as he makes them, show up on images brought down from Smugmug. Or even just a little jpg place holder with a file name to indicate there is one there by that name.
A context entry in the right click on a gallery would be great, but for me the higher priority would be the ability to add a gallery comment. I don't mind having to go to the plug-in extras to do the syncing.

I just got Lightroom 3 and I can't make the SmugMug publish feature work. The error I get is that Lightroom can't contact SmugMug and I should check my internet connection. The connection is fine. I even turned off the firewall and it still doesn't work. I contacted support a week ago. No word back yet. Any suggestions?
Have you tried the Authorize button in the publishing services window (right click on the SmugMug Export Option) then make sure you authorize it to communicate with LR.

G'day David,
The issue is that you mostly likely have to install the Starfield root cert, you which our SSL certificate provider.
I've also tried to use the sign up feature from within Lightroom to see if I can get past the error message that says SmugMug is unavailable. But it also presents this error message.

Lightroom 3 Help
OK. First sorry if asked and answered on here. I was fixing to search the forum but just don't know what to call it.
I got Lightroom 3 running on my mac. I set up my smugmug account and have published new galleries to my account. SWEEEETT!!!! My question is how do I import galleries listed on my smugmug account I want to edit them and then publish them again with the new edits?
Lightroom to Smugmug captions
I must have missed something. How do I get my title and captions to flow to Smugmug when I publish?
I thought I had done it before.

Currently there is no way to synchronize photos from SmugMug to your local catalog of Lightroom. The challenge is how to match up the files on the SmugMug servers with your local versions.
Am I going crazy, where the drag and drop feature listed on here to put photo's into a catalog on SM?
- Edit photo's I want to put on smug mug
- Create a new gallery under catalog I want them to be in on SM. (right click "create new gallery".
- Go back "select all" on photo's I want to move into newly created SM gallery
- Try to drag photo's into SM file = FAIL!!!
Edit: Weird tinkering around with it and got it to work. Problem is, I don't know what I did.
