How to remove a photo from a LRPublishedCollection without affecting the Publish Service?

Hello guys!
I would like to know if there is a way to remove a photo from a LRPublishedCollection without affecting the Publish Service. Basically I would like it to be removed from the collection but I don't want to be added to "Deleted Photos to Remove".
Thanks a lot!
Jordy.

I don't know how to keep it from being put on the "Deleted Photos to Remove" list at least briefly, but if you do this, it'll amount to the same thing:
* save status for all photos in collection
* set status of all photos to "do not publish"
* remove photo from collection.
* publish the collection, and make sure you call the deleted callback, but don't do anything else.
* restore previous photo statuses.
Only works in Lr4+.

Lightroom 3 publish service: Sending 3 files from one photo

Hi,
I have created a lightroom 3 publish service that will export each photo as a huge TIFF file over a slow broadband connection to an external server. The external server creates 3 compressed JPEG files from the TIFF file.
I think this is too slow and that it would be much better if the lightroom publish service created those three files and then sent them over the internet. Please note I am using Mac OS X 10.8.5 and Lightroom 3.
My question is, what would be the best way to accomplish this task? Can lightroom compress the photo 3 times, or is it best to create another script on the local machine to accept each file, compress them, and then send them via the internet? What is the most secure and easy way to do this?

Well, I don't see any reason to use an external script, since your Lightroom plugin can do this without it. Since you are controlling the code of the publish service, I recommend just doing this 3 times:
local session = LrExportSession {
photosToExport = { ... },
exportSettings = { ... }.
session:doExportOnCurrentTask() -- or new task.
-- upload via FTP...
PS - SDK forum would be better place to ask this question.
Cheers,
Rob

Unable to upload photos to flickr using Lightroom 4.4 publish service feature

I post process my images through LR and for several years published images to Flickr via Publish Services feature in LR. The current version is LR4.4. In the past two weeks I have been unable to publish new images on Flickr or update previously published images. Instead, I received the following explanation:
Can’t update this collection [ie., the Flickr collection in Publish Services]:
An internal error has occurred: Error Domain=NSXMLParserErrorDomain Code=4 "Line 1: Document is empty
" UserInfo=0x600010866bc0 {NSLocalizedDescription=Line 1: Document is empty
A blog search shows that this problem has been reported for several years, but I have found no instruction from Adobe or Yahoo that provides a fix. Thanks. David Hawkins. [email protected]

I have a friend who also can't get Lighroom's Publish Service to work with flickr. I don't use flickr but would suggest you try Jeffrey Friedl's Export to Flickr Lightroom plugin. I have used his plugins successfully to publish to other photo sites.

Unable to move photos to publishing services

When I try to move items from my LR library panel to publishing services LR will not grab or move it. This always worked in the past, and I don't have a clue as to what might have changed. It just stopped working. Can anyone help?

I thought that perhaps I could still use iPhoto to view my photos on my external hard drive, so as to not use so much of my laptop's hard drive capacity.
Then you want to move the iPhoto Library, not just the photos.
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
Job done.
But +and this is important+ do not Copy and Paste the Library from one drive to another. Copy and paste is perfectly good for moving chunks of text or a couple of files around. Your iPhoto Library is made up of many thousands of files and copy and paste is simply not a reliable way to move such a complex object. Use Drag and Drop instead.
I then select one of the pictures and choose Show File. It appears that the photos are still on my laptop drive.
Because you haven't moved the Library.

Lr Publish Service Provider: trigger by photos being moved within the local folder structure?

Hi folks,
I recently finalized my first Lr Export plugin and currently I'm working on the Publish Service Provider enhancements for that Export plugin. So far, everything works as expected except one thing::
The publish service provider supports mirroring of local directory structures to the publish destination. So, I am interested in photos being moved from one local directory to a different one, since I have to propagate this change to the destination. Lr informs me whenever a photo/video is changed (acc. to my settings in publishServiceProvider.metadataThatTriggersRepublish()) or deleted, but what about the fact that a photo was moved from local directory a to b?
Any chance to register a trigger for a photo movement?
Martin

That's an interesting approach, never thought that way round!
It might not be suitable as a general prodedure for every single normal "Publish" action, because if you have e.g. 10 pictures with status "to be re-published" in a collection of 20.000 pics or more you wouldn't expect the Publish plugin to re-check all photo locations. That would make the publish process unacceptable lame and annoy the people.
But if I define it as a publish option ("check for moved photos only"), this would be way to "automatically" find and mark moved photos for "to be re-published".
Well, not exactly what I was hoping for, but a reasonable second best approach.
Thanks!
Martin

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.

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...

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???

"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.

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!
Dan

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.

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.

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!!!

Publishing service, missing published collection

I have the basics of a publishing service going, uploading images to an online gallery. Works fine apart from after I publish the 2 images in the 'New Photos to Publish' collection they're not being moved into a 'Published Photos' collection. One doesn't exist.
I'm relatively new to both lua and the LR SDK so it's extremely likely I'm missing the blindingly obvious but I can't find anything that sticks out in either the documentation or the Flickr example code. Is this something that Lightroom takes care of for me or is it something I have to handle myself. If the latter, are there any specific methods or is it just a case of making the collections and shifting stuff around. Any advice or thoughts appreciated.
Many thanks, in advance.
Henry.

Got it. missing exportRendition:recordPublishedPhotoId( publishedId ) call on successful publish.
All fine and dandy now.

Service Registry documentation URL and deleting published services?

Hello,
We are using SAP NetWeaver PI 7.1 SP 7. Do anyone know how you can control the published Documentation URL for published Service Interfaces in the Service Registry when you publish service interfaces directly from the ESR (from the WSDL tab on a Service Interface)?
Do anyone know if you can delete published service interfaces in the Service Registry if a service interface have been deactivated/deleted/is not used any more?
Regards,
Markus Johansson

Hi Markus,
There is anothre approach to delete services using API's.
Determine the WSDL Url of your Services Registry.
- Open SAP NetWeaver Administrator and choose SOA Management Application and Scenario Communication Single Service Administration .
- Search for ServicesRegistrySi and copy the Services Registry WSDL.
Open WS Navigator.
- In the WSDL Url field, enter the Services Registry WSDL and choose Next.
- All Services Registry API operations are displayed.
- Select operation hideServiceDefinitions and choose Next.
- Enter either the UDDI key or the logical key of the service definition you want to delete and choose Execute.
Both keys are displayed on the General tab in the Services Registry.
In case SR shows you as having no logical key for the service you are interested in removing.
There is another operation, findServiceDefintions, that can be used to search a name that will return the UDDI key. Take that value and plug it into the hideServiceDefintions uddiKey value.
Regards,
Jitender
