Weird - Lightroom Plugin Failed to repub on meta data changes

Alans Grin

This is more a very weird observation than a bug perhaps!

I'm using LR 4 and the 1.0.5.7 plugin.

I have noticed for a while (prior to this plugin version) that the plugin was not marking the photos as requiring a replublish if I changed any of the meta data - Title, Caption or GPS etc. The service has all of the checkboxes ticked for monitoring and republishing based on these changes.

I first tried switching off all the checkboxes and the plugin did some kind of scan... then I changed some photo meta data - it still does not work, they are not marked for a republish (expected result).

I then switched all the checkboxes back on ... another scan by the plugin ... changed some meta data - it still does not work.

So I thought I would see what the plugin logging might tell me (on the off chance) so I switched on the diagnostic logging ... bingo! Now my changes to the meta data do cause them to be flagged as requiring a republish.

I switched off the logging ... it still works correctly now!!

Said it was weird! But just thought I'd mention it in case anyone else sees the same.

Thanks for the detailed description Alan. My initial test did mark the photo to republish when I changed the capture time. I will continue testing to see if I can recreate your experience
