Issue Updating Photo Names in Web Gallery

There is a sync issue with Web Galleries when the photo name is updated in iPhoto while another update is occurring simultaneously. The changes made in iPhoto are lost.
The 7.0.2 Update does not fix this issue.
It seems there should be the option to "update now" and make the web gallery look just like the iPhoto version.
Anyone else have this issue?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The syncing works correctly for me. Try clearing out the iPhoto Cache folders that are in your User/Library/Caches folder and delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist that's in the User/Library/Preferences folder. See if that will let you update titles as intended.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • No photo names in Web Gallery

    I just uploaded a web gallery (password protected) and after going to the trouble of putting names on all the photos in iPhoto (prior to the upload) was disappointed to see none in my corresponding web gallery.
    What gives?

    Click on the Setting button in the toolbar for your gallery and make sure you have the option to include titles checked.
    Hint: You can put the description of the photos in the description field in the Info pane at the bottom of the source window and then use this script to batch copy them to the Name field before publishing the gallery. Then when you want to revert back to the original file name just use the Photos->Batch Change->Title to File Name.

  • Question:  How to edit and/or delete photos uploaded to web gallery?

    My Dad uploaded some photos to my web gallery without renaming the photos. Is there any way I can go in and edit and/or delete these photos? Sorry if it's a dumb question... I'm new to iLife '08 (really new to iLife in general)... and for the life of me can't figure out how to edit and/or delete these photos (without deleting the whole library).
    Thanks for any help!
    Ciao ~ Louie

    Guess I just answered my own question.
    For anybody else that may be wondering...
    From within iPhoto there is a "WEB GALLERY" tab in the left side menu. There you will see the name of your web gallery with a little icon that looks like an antenna. If you click on that icon... it will sync your web gallery photos that have been uploaded by other users into iPhoto. You can then edit and/or delete the photos within iPhoto and the edits will automatically change on the published web gallery (may depend on sync preferences... mine changed automatically).

  • Adding photo titles in web gallery iPhoto 8

    When I publish photos to the web gallery in iPhoto 8 I have "show photo titles" checked in the options yet the titles never appear in the published album. What am I doing wrong?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. Launch iPhoto and reset your iPhoto preferences. Then reset the gallery settings and republish.
    2 - delete the Web Gallery, recreate and publish it.
    See if that will help.

  • Mess up when adding photos to a web gallery

    Hi everyone,
    Once I have created a web gallery and the sync with mobileme has be done, everything is ok. But as soon as I add more photo to this web gallery, the sync with mobile me isstill ok, but the display on aperture is completly mess up. It display several times the same image so I can't organise them as I'd like to.
    Anyone has experience this problem and find the fix ?
    Thanks.

    Don't know if this helps you at all. It's not LR of course.....
    In CS2 Adobe added two Flash-based templates you can use for your online Web Photo Gallery. Even cooler is the fact that you can now add a background music track to one of these Flash galleries. Just follow these steps: First find the MP3 audio track you want to use as your background music and rename the file as "useraudio.mp3". Then open your Photoshop CS2 application folder and navigate to Presets>Web Photo Gallery. Inside that folder look for either Flash Gallery 1 or Flash Gallery 2. Depending on which gallery you chose within Photoshop, drag-and-drop your audio file into the corresponding folder. That's it! You've got background music.

  • Quality of photos downloaded from web gallery

    If someone downloads a photo from my web gallery, what quality is the photo? When you share a photo through email it asks you if you want to send it "Actual Size", "Large (higher quality), Medium, etc. Also, is the quality of a photo downloaded in a web gallery the same as a photo downloaded from my iWeb website?

    If you select the option to let others download photos from the web gallery they will be downloading the full sized, pixel-wise, image. However, there will have been some jpg compression on the file. iPhoto does that so as to speed up uploading time and not fill up the iDisk as fast. The amount of compression is 9 on a scale of 1 to 12 where 12 is the highest quality. This was determined by saving the same file with Photoshop to different quality levels and comparing.
    I was hardpressed to see any degradation in image until I compared them side by side at about 200% magnification. Exposure histograms for each image were the same.

  • Emailing photos to a web gallery

    I've noticed that when pictures get added to a gallery via email, the photo name that displays is the subject heading of the email, instead of the name of the photo file. Is there a way to change the display of photos in web gallery to display the photo file name? Is there a way to add captions to photos in web gallery so there can be more meaningful information about the picture?

  • Using captions (or, hiding file names) for Web Gallery with Aperture 2.0

    Is there a way to add captions to pictures displayed using the Aperture 2.0 web gallery without changing the actual file name? I'd like to keep the file name but add a caption to each photo if possible.
    Thanks

    Hi John
    I'm not making extra versions for this, just using the version name as the name in the web gallery. If you are not already using the version name then it lends itself to web gallery naming nicely. If you are using version names already, perhaps reconsider how necessary this is to you as you are tying up this other potential use.
    My file names all contain a date and index number but I try and use more 'user friendly' version names if part of my final output will be for web galleries. This is good for clients as they don't have complicated names to order, but it's also a cinch to find the files using the search bar in Aperture.
    Hope this helps

  • How can I email a saved watermarked photo in my web gallery without the watermark disappearing?

    When I email a photo uploaded from my web gallery in Photoshop Lightroom, it disappears from the photo.  What am I not doing?  Thanks.

    Check your Export dialog:
    Do you have it configured like this?

  • Photo names in MobileMe Gallery?

    Is there a way to make Aperture use the photo's caption field as the title for the photo in the mobileme gallery?
    There's the checkbox to tell it to use the version name or not which doesn't seem very useful to me.
    Should I just copy and paste from caption to version name?

    My mistake
    I had forgotten that it's just what Aperture does for some
    unreasonable reason !
    It puts 20 if there's space ? !

  • Photo stuck in web gallery

    I currently have no photos published in my web gallery. However, I have one photo stuck in my gallery. How can I remove this photo?

    In iPhoto when you go to preferences ==> gallery what does it show? If the gallery shows as being published there stop lublishing it and see if that helps.
    If it doe not go to the finder ==> iDisk ==> web ==> _gallery and delete the gallery folder (or the pictures in that gallery if it is just one picture you want gone) that is stuck there

  • XSL, XML, and Metadata Names in Web Gallery Templates

    I don't know exactly how to ask the question, but what I want to do is customize the information that appears below a full-size image in an HTML web gallery. For the existing HTML gallery templates, this is the area where "caption" data is placed. You can display just about anything you want there, but you are essentially limited to a single line with no ability to format spacing. I would like to be able to show mutiple lines and format the way I want, which would be pretty easy in HTML.
    I have created a custom web gallery, and I have learned where in the transformer.xslt file the caption information is placed. However, I do not know what the metadata field names are, or more importantly how to place them in HTML. Does anyone here know enough about XSL to give me hand? Any kind of direction would be greatly appreciated.

    Try John Nack's blog
    there was some initial info there.
    Also Sean McCormack has done a lot of work on hacking the templates

  • Changing Virtual Copy Names in Web Gallery

    I have been creating web galleries in LR for clients for purposes of online editing. This hasn't been a problem until today when I was creating multiple copies of images using Virtual Copy. I realized when I create a web gallery the images with multiple versions all have the same name in the gallery. So there might be 3 versions of one image (a color, a BW, a sepia tone for example) with the same name.
    I.e., if I have an image called "001.cr2" that is full frame and then I create a virtual copy that is cropped, in the web gallery they are both called "001.CR2" instead of "001_01.CR2", or some such thing.
    I need some way for my client to differentiate btwn the two files during their online editing. Is there a way to do this without exporting the files and then re-importing to create the gallery?
    Thanks in advance.
    Ryan Donnell

    When you create the virtual copies specify unique copy names for them in the metadata, e.g., "bw", "sepia", etc.
    Then in the Web module in the Image Info panel, edit the title and/or caption fields to include the copy name as part of the filename or caption. Each image in the web gallery will then have a unique name tag to reference. If you don't want to use copy names (why not, they sure are useful for other things as well), Image # would also work.

  • Do you have problems updating photo names in iPhoto?

    It is an absolute nightmare.  Every other photo the edit name function just stops working.  It makes updating my names a big pain in the rear end.

    If you use a theme that has layouts without text boxes or themes that do not have autoload of text the text will not print even though you get a warning before ordering.  Folio is the only theme that automatically puts in some text.  The others just have placecard text that does not print.
    You can test it by by proofing the book according to this Apple document: iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture.
    These are two pages from the Picture Book theme of a 2 photo per page layout. One has text and the other doesn't.  The text you see is placecard text and will not display when printed. 
    This is a screenshot of the pages in the PDF file:
    No text on the second page.

  • How to set the Key Photo in .Mac Web Gallery ?

    Has anyone managed to set the key photo in a .Mac Web Gallery album ? The key photo is the photo used on the main page of the Web Gallery to illustrate the event.
    In iPhoto, all you do is select in the left column a published .Mac Web Gallery, right-click on the photo you want to set as the key photo, and select "set as key photo".
    In aperture, you can do the same in a project, but this will only set the key photo for your "all projects" view. This key photo is not used when exporting the project to .mac web gallery.
    In all the web galleries I export from Aperture, the first picture is used as the key photo, it's really a problem. Any solution ?
    Message was edited by: skiss

    There is a small "Header Bar" if you will in iPhoto, you can drag the photo you want to that header bar and I think that accomplishes what you want if I understand what you mean by Key Photo (the photo that shows up in e-mail if you forward the gallery to others). My wife and I stumbled on that solution as we were trying to figure it out. Actually I think wife gets the credit, she had the mouse in her hand when it happened .
