Aperture to SMUGMUG PLUG-IN

David Ziff

I'm editing in Aperture 2.1 and Mac OS 10.4.11. I downloaded the latest version of the plug-in for 2.1. However, whenever I try to launch the plug-in Aperture crashes. Is this because the 2.1 plug-in only works with Leopard and is not compatible with 10.4.11? If so is there a Aperture to SmugMug plug-in that is compatible with both 2.1 and 10.4.11?

David, I just started using the Aperture plug-in and it's working for me in version 2.1. I think you probably should update to 10.5.2 (the latest OS X update) to see if that helps.

The plug-in works okay for me except for some reason creates a blank project folder upon upload/export.

Not a big thing, but 10.5.2 is a free OS update, and it's typically recommended that you maintain the latest update of any OS system because programmers often make updates to their plug-ins and applications based on OS system updates. Don't mean to sound geeky, but just thought I'd add that.

10.5.2 (leopard)is not a free update from 10.4.11(tiger) you have to purchase the upgrade. If it was a free update it would show up under the software update button when I check for new updates. I have personally chosen not to do the update because the extras that 10.5.2 offer are not enough for me to spend the extra $129.00 and everything I use an a daily basis works just great including Aperture 2.1

In Aperture, there is an Export Versions option, normally this is set
to original. Today I had to export some smaller files at 640x640.
Apparently, the Aperture to Smug Mug plugin has a glitch. When I did
my export to Smug Mug the setting on the plugin panel was set to
Original size but it was actually using whatever my last Export
Version size was. I tested this by exporting a version in one size to my desktop and
then used the plugin to send to SmugMug. Each time, regardless of my clicking and
Choosing "Original" size, it was actually using the last setting from
Export Versions.

Do you know who updates the Aperture to SmugMug plug-in? I would like
to make them aware of this issue so they can it fixed. What is means
it that I have to go to the extra step of making sure my Export to
Versions is on Original because my plugin size choice is not working,
it is only using what was last used by Aperture.

What a frustrating day! You were sure I was sending small files and I
was sure I was selecting fullsize files.... and it was all a problem
with the plugin...

he says to ask questions about it in the thread I linked to above.

Smugmug Plugin window, can't see export button
I am hoping someone can help. When I go to export to smugmug the plugin window opens but I cannot scroll down to the export button no matter what I try. The window that opens is too big, any fix?
