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.

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 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)

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

Publishing Service interfaces from SAP PI Repository

Hello All,
I am wondering is it possible to publish service interfaces from ESR in to repository? If so am I able to publish even outboud service interfaces along with inbound service interfaces? As in my ESR for Inbound I am unable to publish services in to Service registry... any reason? I want to get the concept behind it.
Thanks
Rajeev

Hi Rajeev,
The outbound web service invocation doesn't work like that. Refer to the guide below, see the section regarding developing a Web Service Consumer:
[http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d06b6392-cde7-2c10-8f8b-bdea5d781dd9?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true]
You have the option of using SAP PI or not using PI for outbound Sync or Async Web Service calls. If you use PI then you would still need to generate the Consumer Proxy in the back-end & from there proceed with the SOAMANAGER route.
Regards, Trevor

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
Message title was edited by: Brett N

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 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.

Import, Export and Preset settings from TimeMachine

I'd like to recover only my Import, Export and Preset settings of Aperture 3.0 from my backup disk using TimeMachine. Can someone pls guide me on what files to look for and where to find them? (I just reformatted my MBP and hence this query).
Thanks in advance.

You will find the setting in your User Library in the folder
Your Home Directory > Library > Application Support > Aperture
Everything with "preset" in its name might be interesting to you.
Reveal the User Library by going to the Finder main menu bar, select "Go" and hold down the "option" key, until you see the Library in the drop down menu. Select it.
In the Library Finder window navigate to the "Application Support" folder, then "Aperture".
Drag the Aperture folder to the Finder Sidebar for easy access, then open Time Machine.
Go back in Time to the time you want to restore from, then restore the "Aperture Folder" to your Desktop and copy the files you need to your Library.
Regards
Léonie

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.

How to import service settings from Mac Srvr 10.7 to Mac Srvr 10.10??

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

sudo serveradmin settings dns < ~/dns.settings

Classification lost in publishing service interface from ESR

Hello All,
I have followed a tutorial to model a service in ESR. Finally I want to publish this service interface in order to avail it from service registry but when I do so from ESR by pressing Publish Button it shows me error that Classification assigned from the Services Registry will be lost after publication. Would you like to continue?
and when I anyway to go publish the service then there is no Endpoint assigned to it. If I go to NWA to assign the endpoint then It does not show me any service in NWA>SOA Manager>Single Service Administration. Nevertheless, I see the service when I go to SR.
Does any one has idea??
Regards,
NK

I am letting you know the process which has worked for me.
Once the service is published there won't be any endpoint in the registry if you try to do it from ESR the way you have done. The default classification will be as Modeled and Not Released. You can add more classification after you find the service by searching for it in the Registry bu using the option "Add Classifications".
To add Endpoint and classification at the same time get the WSDL link from the service interface. You can generate WSDL form Integration Directory. You will have a WSDL URL along with that. You can take the URL and publish it separately in registry add endpoints and have separate classification. You need not go it to NWA.

Imported FLV Publish Compression Settings?

I have a 5.2 meg FLV video a client has sent me. They want a
getURL script at the end of the clip so the Web browser goes to a
Web page after the clip is finished playing. To do this, I imported
the FLV into a Flash FLA document as "Embed video in SWF and play
in timeline".
When I export this, the SWF is 5.2 megs, like the imported
FLV. The JPEG Publish Settings don't affect that.
Is there a way to compress imported FLV files?
Thanks!

The FLV file is already compressed but need not be placed in
the FLV file
creating the large file size. Rather, play the FLV as an
external source.
Done this way, the compiled SWF file can be kept quite small.
See the FLVPlayback component in the ActionScript 2.0
components of the Help
files.

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.

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.

Lightroom 4.1: Publishing Service Flickr plugin; Using HTML in Caption field

All,
After hours of troubleshooting I have narrowed down a problem with an error message I’m getting when I try to export from Lightroom 4.1 using the Flickr Publishing service. The error msg is:
Can't update this collection
Could not contact the Flickr web service. Please check your Internet connection
I have narrowed down the problem to my attempt to add basic HTML tags to the Caption (Description) Field of the Meta Data. This has worked perfectly well in all versions of Lightroom 3.6 and below (I didn’t try this type of export using Lightroom 4.0). I have also noticed that a simple page break, such as below, will also throw the same error:
“Lorem ipsum @evansante.com dolor sit amet, consectetuer
adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat veniam, quis nostrud exerci t”
Flickr will recognize URL in simple text and format them properly so:
“Lorem ipsum http://www.myurl.com dolor sit amet, consectetuer “
Will work.
Does anyone know of a work around that will allow including page breaks or HTML??? Thanks in advance - CES

This bug, in a related way, has been noted by several users some time ago …
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/999503?tstart=30
and was reported as a bug a month ago during the release candidate period …
http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/lightroom_4_1_rc2_a_cr_or_lf_n_the_m iddle_of_a_caption_causes_failure_to_connect_to_flickr
Although the above mentioned bug is raised specifically in relation to “Breaks” in the caption text I believe it may be symptomatic of either generically poor XML information encoding by LR when talking to Flickr or poor / incorrect use of Flickr Api’s which cannot cope with trivial complexity in the caption field.
– in either case it needs fixing with some priority in my opinion, but possibly the philosophy of the on-going Flickr plugin support needs fixing too.
The LR Flickr publishing service has not been maintained very well in my opinion even when fixes may sometimes be trivial.     Perhaps Adobe would do well to employ or contract with JF for such plugins in future.    I use the excellent SmugMug plugin as the yardstick by which I measure the Flickr plugin.
A fix should also be treated as priority because the LR error message takes aim at the reliability of your internet connection which may cause some to erroneously try to chase down non-existent problems with a perfectly good infra-structure or OS / Firewall configuration – that is seriously bad advice for a caption related LR bug and has scope to seriously compound the problem for the user!
Adobe, you have a responsibility to fix this before people mess with their reliable setups.
Sorry, I am not aware of any work rounds to your problem with this and suspect it may be a windows only problem (please confirm if not).
Although not entirely exactly as per your problem (I believe it is generically the same) you may wish to add your vote to the above mentioned problem report or raise a new one.
