Collections/sub-collections and sets in Flickr publishing service

I have been searching in vain for a way to arrange the photo sets I upload to Flickr in folders and sub folders - just the same way I do it in Flickr with up to 5 levels of collections + sets.
What I want is something like this:
BIRDS
---------ORDER 1
-----------------------FAMILY 1
------------------------------------SPECIES 1 (Pictures in this level of folder/set)
------------------------------------SPECIES 2
-----------------------FAMILY 2
------------------------------------SPECIES 3
------------------------------------SPECIES 4
---------ORDER 2
-----------------------FAMILY 3
------------------------------------SPECIES 5
------------------------------------SPECIES 6
-----------------------FAMILY 4
------------------------------------SPECIES 7
------------------------------------SPECIES 8
Could someone please tell me if this already exists - in the program or as an add-on?
Thanks!

Lightroom does not support what you're trying to do. You could check Lightroom Exchange to see if any third party plugins provide the type of support you want.

Unable to set up Flickr Publish Services in LR4.1

I have tried on numerous occasions and end with the same result. After I finish setting up the parameters in the Flickr Publish Services form I receive the "Lightroom needs your permission to upload images to Flickr" I click on the "Authorize" button and then I'm taken to my account within Flickr. Once i click on the "OK, I'll authorize it" button, I'm taken to: http://lightroom://com.adobe.lightroom.export.flickr/#?oauth_token=72157630835444112-9ff8c 3faeafcb667&oauth_verifier=84249d3a8099d4dd, where I get another pop up window that says "This web page cannot be displayed"
No matter what I do I cannot get the publish service to work. I had no issues with Lightroom 3.6 using the same procedure. What has changed, or what am I missing? Please help. Thanks in advance.

Hi
You will need to have different configuration in each service.bat file as the SVCNAME must be unique across multiple instances, for example:
JBoss Server 1 service.bat config:
set SVCNAME=CCP_RC
set SVCDISP=CCP - RequestCenter
set SVCDESC=JBoss instance for RequestCenter
JBoss Server 2 service.bat config:
set SVCNAME=CCP_SL
set SVCDISP=CCP - ServiceLink
set SVCDESC=JBoss instance for ServiceLink

I have the latest Creative Cloud versions of Lightroom and Lightroom Mobile on my Ipad. On my desktop I have created a collection which I have put in a custom order. On my Ipad I go into that collection and set the order to custom order, which I presume means the order I have on my desktop. However, the photos on the Ipad seem to be just random photos from the collection THEN the rest of the collection is in the correct order after that.

Do you have virtual copies in your collection?
Could you please send send me a LR Desktop +Mobile diagnostig log - best as a private message with a downloadable dropbox link
You can trigger the Lr Desktop diagnostig log via LR Desktop preferences -> Lightroom Mobile and when you hold down the alt key you will notice a generate diagnostic log button.
The Lr Mobile app log can be triggered when you open up the settings and long press the to LR Icon a diagnostic log will be generated and attached to your local mail client. While opening the settings could you double check if you are signed-in?
Thanks

Hi there! So I am using Lightroom 3 on a pc and I have ran into an issue when exporting images. The DPI and image size (in inches) that I am selecting during the export process. For example I just exported a collection and set the dpi to 180 and the size

Hi there! So I am using Lightroom 3 on a pc and I have ran into an issue when exporting images. The DPI and image size (in inches) that I am selecting during the export process. For example I just exported a collection and set the dpi to 180 and the size to 7 inches on the long edge. My exported result is 457 dpi and sized at 3200x2134 pixels.. Any ideas on why this is happening and what I can do to correct it?

The DPI setting in a digital image has no meaning at all. You need to learn how to calculate what you need in your exported image. The only measurement in a digital image that has any meaning is the number of pixels in each direction. It doesn't matter what you set that DPI to (actually it's PPI or pixels per inch). The image will have the same number of pixels regardless of the setting. If you need an image that is 5 x 7" (for example) at 200 PPI then you would want an image that measured:
5 x 200 = 1000 pixels
7 x 200 = 1400 pixels
So you would need an image that is 1000 x 1400 pixels to have a 5 x 7" image at 200 PPI. The reason your exported image had such a high PPI setting is because you specified the number of inches you wanted the image to be. And there were enough pixels in the image that it calculated out to be that high PPI setting.
I apologize, I don't explain this very well. But you need to learn to do the math to determine how large you really want your exported images to be.

Flickr publishing service and privacy settings

Hi,
I recently purchased Lightroom 3, and am loving it. I've played around with the Flickr publishing service, and it seems that at the moment there is a limitation in that it is not possible to specify permissions for individual photos, but rather, an overall choice for the publishing service. I usually upload an album with restrictive permissions then make some of the photos public, so I was wondering whether if I upload an album via Lightroom 3 with permissions set to 'Private', and I change the permissions on the flickr website to 'Public', then if in future I re-upload the image after modifying it, will the permissions be reset to 'Private', or will Lightroom respect any privacy settings set directly on Flickr?
Thanks for any advice,
Thomas

I don't know the answer to your specific scenario - my simple advice is "try it".
But I do have an alternate idea if you try it and find that it doesn't work as you expect.
I have 2 publish services both based on the Flickr plugin. (You can add additional ones by right-clicking on the existing Flickr publish service, and choosing [Add Another Publish Service via "Flickr"]
One's set up to upload as public, the other is set to upload as private. Under these 2 publish services I have my various photosets (public & private).
You can also use this method to support multiple Flickr accounts (family vs. business, etc)

Can the Flickr Publish Service upload to existing Sets?

When publishing photos to Flickr, can I specify the photo to be put in a specific set within Flickr, i.e., photo publishes to my photostream and I want to place the photo into my "Ravelry set?"
How can I accomplish this or do I have to manually go into Flickr and add the photo to a specific set?
Thank you

Not to confuse things by contradicting Brett, but I just tried this, and it works fine for me. Payne1904, try this:
1. Set up your Flickr publish service in Lightroom.
2. In the header of the Publish Services panel in Lightroom, click the "+" button and in the Flickr section, choose "Create Photoset".
3. Name the Photoset the exact name of the existing Photoset that you want the photos to go into.
4. Add photos to the Photoset in Lightroom, and click "Publish".
The photos will be added to the existing Photoset on Flickr. Let me know if this doesn't work.

Flickr Publish Service Colour Space

I've read a couple of threads about setting colour spaces when exporting, including this thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2942130#2942130
For many years I've used Photoshop Elements as my main editing software. The images that I've edited in PSE and then uploaded to Flickr using Flickr Uploadr all show the colour space as sRGB when I look up the EXIF data on Flickr.
Since I've started using LR 3, I've noticed that the images published to Flickr from the LR Flickr publish service don't show any colour space when I look up the EXIF data in Flickr. I can't see anything in the Flickr publish service settings that allows me to embed a colour space.
What colour space are the published images in? Am I missing a step somewhere in LR?

Thanks for taking the time to reply and for the very helpful information.
I'm aware of Jeffrey Friedl's plugin and I might eventually go that way, but for the moment I'm just trying to understand the built in publish service.
I didn't have the Hard Drive publish service set up, so I did that with sRGB as the colour space and Minimize Metadata unchecked. I checked the settings for the Flickr publish service, Minimize Metadata was also unchecked there. The ability to set a colour space is definitely present in the Hard Drive publish service but absent from the Flickr publish service.
After doing those things, I published some more photos to Flickr, again no colour space when I view the EXIF in Flickr. I still don't know whether no colour space is embedded, or whether sRGB is embedded but undisclosed.

Flickr Publish Service Error

I have used the service to upload many pictures to my account, however on my latest upload (5 photos, one of them was a virtual copy, could this be the cause of the problem perhaps?), it ended with the following dialog box:
"Can't update this collection.
An internal error has occurred: assertation failed!"
All the pictures uploaded though. I tried to upload another one to see what would happen. It did upload as well, but it also ended with the same error coming up. It's quite annoying, can someone help me please?

I worked with Gokul from Adobe support, and we eventually stumbled into the solution.
The system clock was wrong!
Based on something Friedl says on the blog for his Flickr plugin, the Flickr authentication APIs will fail if the system clock is wrong. His plugin helpfully points out that the clock is wrong when you install it. It also reports the error that he gets from the Flickr APIs: HTTP 401 (not authorized). Unfortunately, Lightroom's builtin Flickr publishing plugin doesn't report any error, and it just fails silently.
In my case, Windows appeared to be displaying the correct time, but the time zone was incorrect, and my system time was actually 3 hours ahead. I reset the clock and timezone and restarted Lightroom. Now, the builtin Flickr publish plugin is working again.

Flickr Publish Service - Inability to Stop "Retreiving Comments for Photostream" Process

I upload a lot of stuff to Flickr and every time my selected photos complete uploading a process kicks off "Retreiving Comments for Photostream". This never seems to do anything and after a time I get this annoying popup which says: "Can't download comments for this collection. Could not contact the Flickr web service. Please check your internet connection." First of all, I do not want to download comments, but I have no user control over preventing it, other than standing by to cancel the process once it starts. Secondly, it appears a change at the Flickr end has broken this functionality anyway.
How do I convey this info to the Adobe staff responsible for the code writing for Lightroom so they can sort this out? I could find no other way apart from this forum to raise this issue.

No, you are not alone. It has been doing that to me for a week or so. May have been going on longer, but I had not posted in a few days.
Annoying since canceling the task by clicking on the X to the right of the progress bar makes it 'go away' but the pop-up still appears a few seconds later.

Can't set up Lightroom Publish Services, internal error occurs

I'm trying to use LR 3's publish service for SmugMug. I'm a little scared since
I have a large number of photos to sync up.
When I click on "setup" on the SmugMug export services, I get a popup
error with this message:
"An internal error has occurred: ?:0: attempt to index field 'exportSettings' (a
nil value)"
Any idea how to fix this?
The same message appears for any of the publish services (Flickr, Facebook).
If I go the Publish manager, I can authorize the SmugMug account. It then says it syncs the hierarchy, but afterwards nothing seems to have happened and the account is not longer authorized.
Thanks.

Thanks Mark, but that's not it.
I'm not using Jeff's plugin, but the new built-in one for LR 3.2 and LR3.3. I did try to install Jeff's plugin just before LR3.2 came out. I uninstalled Jeff's version (or at least tried to - it doesn't appear anymore) before I ever used it.
I'm not even to the point of exporting to SmugMug, I just click 'setup' and get the error.

Empty Sets/Collections list in new flickr Publish setup in LR4

A member of my family has just bought a new iMac 27" with 10.8 and I have set it up from scratch rather than copying over the old system. Lightroom has always worked well and never any issues.
However, in setting up this new machine and adding in a new flickr service - it connects and authenticates without an issue and we can upload and add new sets etc but no matter what I do, it will not show the sets and collections from flickr on the local machne - it just shows "Photostream" and 0.
We have about 12,000 images on flickr so we use it quite heavily and all the set and collections have always shown up without an issue. I cannot see any reason for it not working and have checked what I could but I am sure I haven't missed anything.
Has anyone seen this issues before - thanks for any help you can offer.
Jason

Why error when looping a sheets collection and setting the visible property?

I get an error on line 5 when running the following code:
1Sub ShowSheets(vSheets() As Variant)
2
3 Dim i As Long
4 For i = LBound(vSheets, 1) To UBound(vSheets, 1)
5 ThisWorkbook.Sheets(vSheets(i, 1)).Visible = xlSheetVisible
6 Next i
7
8End Sub
The error code I get is:
Run-time error '-2147417848 (80010108)':
Method 'Visible' of object '_Worksheet' failed
I only get the error when at least one of the sheets is a chart. But the error does not occur when the chart object is looping. Instead it occurs when the first worksheet object after the chart object is looping.
What is the cause of this error?

Hi JP3O,
>> only get the error when at least one of the sheets is a chart. But the error does not occur when the chart object is looping<<
I am trying to reproduce this issue however failed. From the error message, it seems that the visible couldn't set when you call the sub.
How the code was executed? Would you mind sharing more detail about this secnario?

Flickr publishing service - intermittent errors mean its not viable

Hello
I posted this to the flickr forum too, because its not clear which stool it falls under. I've seen the question in a couple of forums too but no answer. Its not related to authorisation - i'm authorised fine!
I tried uploading to flickr via Lightroom 5 today. I had about 80 photos,about 2-3 mb each. Randomly, the uploaded would fail with an error :
'Flickr API returned an error message (function flickr.photos.getInfo, message Photo "xxxxxxx" not found (invalid ID)) '
I could proceed by pressing Publish again, but whatever photo it failed on would not get uploaded - even though lightroom thought it did! So two problems:
- to get through a collection of about 60 photos i had about 5 errors, which meant i had to press publish 5 times to get through the whole collection
- 5 photos didnt get synced and there's no way to know which ones apart from eye-by-eye comparing the collection in lightroom with the collection in flickr
this wasn't a one-off i repeated the same with another collection - same results. This obviously isn't viable, so i've taken to using the old fashioned way of exporting then uploading, but would love to have this work properly its so much more convenient to do it in lightroom. Does anyone by chance have a solution?
Thanks very much!

I'm on a win8.1 x64 pc w/ LR 5.3
I'm experiencing the exact same situation.
I would gladly offer up my time and effort to help isolate why this is continuing to happen through what seems like 3 major revisions of Lightroom.

Import flickr published service settings from LR3?

Hello,
I've searched and searched but can't figure out how to import my flickr settings from LR3, in particular my photosets, into LR4. If I recreate them they will presumably overwrite the stuff I've already published to flickr.
Is there a way to import these settings from LR3?
Thanks.

You can use the serveradmin command line tool. For example, if on 10.7 you are looking to export your DNS settings, you would use:
sudo serveradmin settings dns > ~/dns.settings
Then move the file to the new server and reverse the process using:
sudo serveradmin settings dns < ~/dns.settings
( The ~/ will create a file at the root your home folder) This process will work for most of the services (use sudo serveradmin list to see all services). Please note that this process does not move data. It only will move configuration information.
If moving Open Directory, you will likely want to create an OD archive or export the users and groups as flat files. Please note that flat files will not include passwords.

Hard Drive Publishing Services and Smart Collections

Hi there,
Total newbie here, so apologies if these are obvious. I haven't had much luck with the various searches I've tried.
Is it possible to publish a smart collection? When I add a rule to my "published smart folder", I only get entries when I specify searches against plain old vanilla collections versus the smart variety. I certainly can use all the same rules from my collections smart folder, but maintaining those rules in one place would be much less error prone, I believe
Is it possible to specify that a smart collection be exported to a sub-folder of the Hard Drive Publish Service? Essentially what I have are smart collections, divided into months. I want each month to export into their own month folders. Each folder then appears as a different album for iPhone/iPad/AppleTV. The only solution I'm seeing right now is to create separate Hard Drive Publish Services, one for each month.
Thanks for any help on these!
-Kevin

1. No. A smart collection (or a smart published folder, which is essentially the same) cannot search in another smart collection. You can only use the new smart published folder and trash your old smart collection to keep things simpler. A smart published folder is essentially a smart collection that resides in the Publish Services panel.
2. Yes, each published folder or smart published folder, as well as a published folder sets, create their own folder on drive. Published folders sets create a level of hierarchy when exported.
