Lightroom Export ??

I'm curious, using the smugmug lightroom plugin is it possible to export photos to Smugmug. I don't want any syncing etc (to be honest I would be happy without having publishing service in the sidebar).

The main use case for the SmugMug Publish Plugin is to export to SmugMug. Bidirectional syncing is still a beta feature for the plugin. I almost exclusively use it to just push (upload, export, etc) photos from my computer (within LR) to SmugMug.

When you say "any syncing" do you mean you don't want to do one way, from lightroom to smugmug? That's a sort of export, but it is also a sync as it keeps track of when you want to update.

By-directional sync is a feature Smugmug is proud of, but to me it's just a bad idea to sync both ways.

I want to do a plain export from Lightroom to Smugmug without any links between them. The answer was to use Jeffry Friedls smugmug plugin, works exactly the way I want-

The official SmugMug plugin will also do a plain export from LR to SM. In the future, we always recommend the official plugin as we keep it up-to-date and inline with any feature improvements and changes that we make and is more likely to innovate with us.

One of my favourite features of Jeffrey Friedl's plugin was it's ability to customize the Title and Caption fields on export allowing the filename and caption to automatically appear on a SmugMug page. As you would know when IPTC info is filled in correctly in an image using Lightroom when the image is uploaded using the regular web uploader the file-name isn't visible in a SmugMug page unless you both enable filenames and remove the title manually. This is the option with Jeffrey's plugin

Is it possible to include this in the official SmugMug plugin?
