Publish Services - Mix Multiple catalogs?

Is there any way to merge the publish service collections that have each exported to different gallery areas on the same service using different catalogs? Specifically these collections were setup in each catalog using Jeffrey's Smugmug add-in.
If this is not possible is there any way to selectively re-associate certain galleries without having to do a rebuild of the entire catalog against the entire service? Again specific to Smugmug.

It's technically possible, but only if the plug-in has been written to do it. It would need to get the information from the remote service like SmugMug and then associate online items with images registered in the catalogue. But for example, what if SmugMug filenames (jpg with underscores for spaces) differed from the filenames in your catalogue (raw files with some underscores and some spaces)? That's just one of the obstacles that would need coding that's specific to the plugin and the service. So I would suggest your best approach is to bounce this off Jeffrey. If he can't solve it, I doubt anyone can.

How does one transfer publish services configuration to a older catalog?

Hello!
An early suggestion from LR gurus & advisors was to set up separate catalogs as to not create an overly large therefore slow catalog.
LR3 established the published services ability which surplanted previous plug-in services that I'd used from their onset. (Thanks again Jeffery and others!)
While there was a hill to climb with publish services - normal in most transitions -, having gotten there, publish services has helped work-flow.
Unfortunately, there seems to be a hitch as when one opens earlier catalogs the publish services have to be re-configured. There does not seem to be any discussion or instruction as to easily transferring the settings or configurations for publish services to other catalogs. Any thoughts other then configuring each different catalog?
I need to pull files from LR cats that go back to V1 (yes, I know how to update them - that's not the question.) and I have about 25 catalogs to visit and work which is a bit of updating for publish services. Btw, I keep a file card (written on a paper card no less!) to follow what is in each cat as there does not seem to be anyway to output an index of libraries. But the query here is publish services.
Thanks for your thoughts and interest.
Shutter On!

I frequently see this advise on the forums, and I would love to follow it, but it just doesn't seem realistic. I have LR 3.2 set to backup (and optimize) the catalog every time I quit. Since the catalog contains all the work I put into my images after I take them, I consider these backups as important, if not more so, than the separate backups I make of my raw images. The catalog backup takes several minutes on my existing big catalogs, I can only imagine how long it would take if everything was in one catalog.
I create a new catalog for each year, but I also have a "Processing" catalog, which is where I import new photos. I do all my processing in that catalog, which typically only has a few thousand image (even when I have a backlog to process). When I'm done developing a shoot and have complete my "standard" export tasks, I switch to my current year catalog, and use import-from-catalog to get the images into it. I switch back to the processing catalog and remove those images from it.
Am I missing something?
How long does it take to optimize/backup you 500k catalog?
Thanks.

Mixing multiple audio files using Windows Azure Media Services

Hi,
I'm trying to "mix" multiple audio files on the server, e.g. I have 4 different .wav files for each instrument in my song: vocals, guitar, drums, bass. I want to create a new stereo "mix" from these, but I want to change the relative
volume of one of the tracks, say vocals, or mute it altogether. I can use libraries such as NAudio to achieve this, but I'm wondering if Windows Media Services can do this, and if so, can it do it dynamically, i.e. create a live stereo stream and allow
me to add/drop individual tracks on-the-fly. I've been looking through documentation on Azure Media Services and Expression Encoder, but haven't found the answer.
Thanks,
Alan

Hi Georgios,
There is support for using audio overlays in our service - see http://azure.microsoft.com/blog/2014/08/21/advanced-encoding-features-in-azure-media-encoder/ for examples. It may be possible to perform pairwise overlays to implement your scenario.
However, it's currently not possible for us to integrate customer-built processor code into our service.
Cheers,

Best way to publish a collection to multiple publish services

Hi
I post a collection of images to Facebook, SmugMug and to a Hard Drive folder for syncing with my iPhone.
Currently I add all the photos I want to a regular collection. Once complete I select all and drag to each of the three Publish Services Collections and hit publish on all three. I've considered making the three Publish Services Collections Smart and telling them to include from the Collection that includes the name of my collection (really it would be helpful if there was a drop down list, but I digress).
Is there a better way of doing this? What is everybody else doing?
cheers, Lewis

I use export instead of publish.
Granted, I'm not using the web photo services that don't support change detection without the publishing (or are there export plugins that do support change detection and removal of obsolete photos - true sync stuff like publishing except via export?).
TreeSync - for hard drive export-based "publishing".
WebPhotos - for exporting photos for web consumption.
ExportManager - for one-click exporting of all changed photos to all endpoint destinations.
I have requested a feature, as have other publish plugin developers, for a hook so that publishing can be started programmatically (via plugins). If this feature is added to the Plugin SDK, then export-manager will be upgraded and renamed export+publish-manager...

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

Why is Lightroom 5.4 so slow in Publish services and Book module?

I've been using Lightroom 5 for a few months now. I'm using the latest version (5.4) and have been experiencing extremely slow performance in two main areas:
1) When in the Library module and I select (or scroll down to) the Publish services on the left it pauses for 10+ seconds before displaying the valid services. Changing between different services also takes quite a while. I now have the services minimised unless I need them.
2) When in the Book module and I try and change a page layout the first time I select the drop down the cursor changes to a spinning circle for a while. Sometimes it comes up with the dialog saying Lightroom has experienced problems and I can either close it or wait. It usually recovers without any input from me. However, the first time I select the drop down it will close without me being about to select anything. I then have to press it again and wait for the layouts to load before I can scroll through the list. This occurs on every page. It takes probably 10-20 seconds to be able to select a new page layout. Applying the layout is very quick.
I have upgraded my PC from a 2.6GHz Core 2 Duo with 4 GB DDR2 RAM to an I5-4670 with 16 GB DDR3 RAM and not seen much improvement in either area. In both configurations I used an SSD for the application and catalog. The photos are stored on a NAS but this has not shown any performance issues in browsing/editing photos. A review of Task Manager's CPU and RAM loading during these operations does not indicate the CPU or RAM is maxed out. I've never seen the RAM go above ~7 GB used and CPU loading (average across all 4 cores) is usually less than 50%.
Generally the upgraded PC is showing a significant improvement in Lightroom's performance but these two areas are still painfully slow.
Is anyone else experiencing these issues or have any ideas on what I can do to try and improve its performance??
Thanks,
Brett

Hi Brett,
I got the same issue and I am very frustrated about it.
Its the same thing I experienced in Lightroom 4 and its still not fixed. I cant use the book module because of that. So BLURB is not getting my money. :-(
I am waiting for that fix since more than a year, but Adobe says its a Problem which appears only for a small group of users.
HA HA just do a Google search!!!

How to migrate publish service from Lightroom 4 to Lightroom 5?

I have been upgrading from LR4 to LR5. Then I imported the LR4 catalog. But no Publish service was following to LR5.
I have used the FLICKR plugin a lot - made more than 80 FLICKR-sets. Therefore I would be terribly sorry if I do not succeed in restoring the contact to the old service files. Does anybody know how to migrate publish services from Lightroom 4 to Lightroom 5? Very fine if it's going to be a kind of a workaround.
Best regards
Jimmy

You'll need to backtrack a little, open your LR4 catalogue in LR5 and allow it to upgrade the catalogue with publish services.
If you've done work on images in the "wrong move" catalogue, identify those images, select them, and do a File > Export as Catalog. in the "right move" catalogue, bring this work in by File > Import from Another Catalog.
Alternatively, it may be worth looking at Jeffrey Friedl's Flickr plugin as he may have looked at this problem. Maybe someone here will know if it would help.

SCSM 2012 R2 Portal - Publishing Service Request and Change Request.

Dears,
Sorry for this questions, it is very basic.
I want links on how to create below things:
Create Cataloge about Services we provide such: Create VM, Delete VM, Create User and Mailbox, Add user to group
How to publish this request to Portal
Create Change request approval flow such: approve creating user and mailbox
How to publish above change request
Thanks

In addition to Thomas and regarding your assumption "I am not sure if the books help on this points":
In the
Microsoft System Center 2012 Cookbook in the chapter 5 starting on page 148 the detailed steps "how to create a request offering for a new user request" are described.
Each recipe in this chapter describes how to setup a request offering with all related components to get this done.
The recipes you need in this chapter are:
Creating Service Request templates, page 148
Creating Service Request activities, page 151
Creating Service Offering categories, page 157
Creating Service Catalog Request offerings, page 159
Creating Service Catalog Service offerings, page 167
Publishing Service offerings and Request offerings, page 176
Working with Service Requests in the portal, page 183
Creating Service Request notifications, page 187
There is only one minor mistake in this chapter on page 153:
"Unanimous (only one reviewer
needs to approve)" -> it must be "Unanimous
(all reviewers
must approve)"
I am pretty sure the recipes will work because I wrote the chapter. And sorry for the mistake on page 153! ;-)

Why am I seeing slow performance/freezing only while using Publish Services?

I experience significant lag/lock-up when my Publish Services menu is expanded. The animation of the menu itself, as well as the other visual functions oF LR. If the menu is already open, the other parts of the display scroll properly, and no other functionality is affected.
Win7 Ultimate / 6-core AMD / 8GB ram. I do have my catalog (75k photos) on a different drive than the app, but they all have 5GB+ free space at all times. This problem began for me in LR4, and even after having removed publish services, reloading individually, and reinstalling LR, upgrading to CC, my system is hobbled if I try to interact with that region of the Navigator. The functions themselves are fine - uploads, etc. run smoothly. It seems to be a UI thing.

Hi Peter
Thanks - I've found that the files were marked as 'hidden' and thus by switching them on gain I was able to recreate the original location. Regrettably this has had absolutely no effect on my problem. :-(
I have now created a fresh document, studiously linking all my images properly (similar number to a DK 'Eyewitness Travel Guide') and by the time I got halfway through its 80 pages, InDesign had slowed to a crawl - ie 15-20 seconds to respond to any command. It is clearly doing something that it thinks necessary despite all the 'workarounds' people have suggested. Please please Adobe what's going on???

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)

"Publish Services" Issue in Lightroom

I have been trying to use the "Publish Services" in Lightroom and keep getting this error: "?:0: attempt to index field 'exportSettings' (a nil value)." I have tried removing and reloading /installing the plug-ins, but they are all giving this same response. And ideas?

A Google search for the error message suggests these two threads might be relevant:
Error Message in Publish Services [Archive] - Lightroom Forums
Publish services "An internal error has occurred (Page 1) — TTG CE3 Publisher — Community @ The Turning Gate
The first thread suggests that your catalog might be corrupted, and you could fix that by creating a new catalog. A better way of doing that (than what is described in that thread) is to do File > Export As Catalog. Your original catalog will be left untouched, and all the catalog settings of all your photos will be transferred into the new catalog. If after opening the new catalog the problem isn't fixed, you can delete that new catalog folder proper (the folder containing the .lrcat file) without affecting your original catalog.
Before doing that, you might also try deleting your preferences: Resetting (or 'Trashing') the Lightroom Preferences file - Lightroom Forums. Some information about publishing and export services is stored in the preferences file, and the file often gets corrupted.

Publishing Services lost. Help

I have Llightroom 5.7 on my computer and frequently download pictures to Smugmug, Flikr and Facebook throuogh the publishing services section in the Library Module. After downloading some photos today, I clicked on the Publishing Services section and it dissapeared. I now have only Navigator, Catalog, Folders and Collections in the Library Module. I tried restarting Lightroom and even rebooting the computer, Publishing Services is gone. Anyone have any ideas

Right-click on one of the other sections and put a checkmark back next to Publishing Services.

Can Lightroom Mobile Add Photo to Hard Drive Publish Service

Hi,
I am considering getting an iPad for Lightroom mobile. I am wondering if I will be able to sync my catalog to the iPad and then use it to sort through my pictures and add them to different publishing services I have setup on my desktop? This way when I start lightroom on my desktop the pictures will show up as ready to be published.
Thanks
Chad

You can create as many separate hard-drive publishing services as you want. Right-click on the Hard Drive Publish Service header and select "Create Another Publish Service via Hard Drive...".
But I agree about the frustration of being unable to change the destination folder....so I've begun to migrate my hard drive publish services to use Jeffrey Friedl's Collection Publisher plug-in. Works like the native Hard Drive service but with loads more options....and you can change the destination folder.
