Is anyone working on this? I'm evaluating both Lightroom and Apple's Apperture, and like lightroom better... but publish heavily to gallery and would love a plug in. Especially one which supported stacks. Could be some money offered ;;) |

I would like to second this; I'm currently using Lightroom, and loving it, and also publish heavily to gallery. At the moment, my convuluted workflow is to export from Lightroom to iPhoto, upload to Gallery with the iPhototoGallery plug-in, and then delete the photos in iPhoto. A direct Lightroom - Gallery combination would be amazing. |

"Lightroom to iPhoto" is good idea, but one direct Lightroom is more cooler. Thanks. -------- |

I also agree that a Lightroom --> Gallery2 plugin would be handy. But the question is, who out there knows Adobe well enough to do that? I wonder if a CS3 plugin would also work in Lightroom? |

I would like too to manage my Gallery online albums from tools such as Lightroom or ACDSee. In addition to export photos to Gallery albums, what would especially be cool would be to update what is already on-line : |

Well, this should not be all that hard. Maybe a little time consuming, but not that difficult. Lightroom keeps its data in SQLite, so it should just be a matter of writing a script or program to read this database and upload the files as appropriate. This is what I did to add upload functionally from Adobe Photoshop Elements 5. (Added functionality to an existing project - Pix2Gallery2). Of course, this is only easy if you know how to program, and understand relational databases. I wouldnt know where to start with writing a plug-in (for Lightroom) however. |

There is finally a handy solution apparently. Picturesync can upload your pictures, I say apparently as I can't get it to work on my machine (mac osx 10.4). Hopefully this will help someone running windows. |

Could you let me know (Help>Send Feedback) what it is that you can't seem to get working? Do check that you're running the latest version, and if in doubt, enter the full URL to your gallery installation e.g. example.com/gallery2/main.php |

I think todays news about the Lightroom SDK preview would make this a lot easier to implement! http://photoshopnews.com/2007/11/16/adobe-posts-lightroom-13-export-sdk/ In the SDK preview it's already working examples of exporting to ftp and flickr (if I read correctly) |

Just a quick heads up for everybody. I'm making good progress on the lightroom plug-in. Login and fetching albums is working already. Working on the upload of images now - hoping to get that done in the next couple of days. Here's a sneak peak. [img]http://www.ubermind.com/~khans/lightroomtogallery.jpg[/img] If you're interested in beta testing it please send an email to support at ubermind dot com. thanks! |

ok - initial beta version (0.5) is up. available here: http://www.ubermind.com/products/lightroomtogallery.php I'm in the process of creating a Mac OS X Installer package and a NSIS based installer for Windows. But for now, installing the plug-in requires copying it to one of two locations on your computer. On Windows: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 1.3/ enjoy -shehryar |

Sorry, scratch that last question, I see you asked it earlier. It's late, I'm tired and excited. Bad mix for concentration. Just had a look at khans' website and the Aperture to Gallery plugin has everything you'd need, I would imagine this will be the same when finished. As a wedding photographer I was uploading massive amounts of photographs to the web as plain html pages for years and only discovered gallery recently. I can customise it, there's ecommerce plugins, password protection and now this plugin really is the icing on the cake. Cheers khans |

Thanks guys. Appreciate the kind words. There's a bug in this version where validation doesn't catch invalid gallery urls properly. It'll try to connect and when it fails it just sits there with the "logging in" message. Kingstog - I suspect that's the problem you ran into. Here's a list of requested features so far (please post here and / or send me your feedback so that I can refine / prioritize this list) - add support for creating albums from within the plug-in interface thanks! |

Here's a quick and easy way to take it for a spin [install] - download and install the 30 day trial version of lightroom (http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshoplightroom/) [use] - choose a few photos in lightroom happy thanksgiving |

Thanks for putting together the Lightroom plugin. I think I've run into a problem exporting certain photos with it though. When trying to export large dimension panoramic images an error dialog is displayed with the message "An internal error has occurred: Win32 API error (unknown error -- FormatMessageW failed) when calling HttpSendRequest from private_AgHttpClient_post_L". Are there any internal restrictions to the size or dimensions of the images when using the Gallery plugin? Cheers, -- Ian |

A likely cause for this is because PHP enforces a size limitation for data uploads (usually 2 MB) which may be preventing your image from being sent to your Gallery installation. This size limitation can be adjusted by editing the php settings in your php.ini file. For more details, go here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.common-pitfalls.php thanks! |

The plugin is working great. I face two problems : I would like to see the possibily to update/replace pictures already uploaded especially when better treatments were done. The plugin could localized. I may help for the FR release. |

There is another implementation of a LR export plugin to Gallery. http://sourceforge.net/projects/lr-to-gallery/ This one is better. |

Well, since the project on SF (lr 2 gallery) does not seam to have anymore activity, I decided to post my own plugin which now contains some fixes plus the FR translation. It can be found here: http://www.starway.org/blogs/Photographie/lightroom-vers-gallery The page is in french, but I'm sure you will find the download link! Have fun and don't hesitate to notify me of any bug. |

The log file is a text file written in the "My Documents" (Windows) or "Home" (Mac OS X) directory. It contains mainly debug information I may request when a user describes a problem with the plugin. For the end user, this file is useless. |

I seem to be having intermittent success with the plugin exporting out of LR. I'm using LR 1.3.1 on a Mac running Leopard 10.5.2 and exporting to Gallery 2.2.4. I have gotten it to work a couple of times, usually with single photo exports. The issue is usually that it works on a fresh reboot but then doesn't on subsequent exports in the same session. Rebooting usually does the trick. Thanks for any help you can provide.

I did some more testing and it seems to behave like an auth token timeout issue. Meaning the first time I try to upload after not making any attempts or browsing to the gallery, it works fine and I get to upload. If I try it again right afterwards, it fails and just sits there at the same point as the above log. Is there any kind of plugin caching that is happening in Lightroom? |

You might have stumbled on a bug that is related this one: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1564288&group_id=7130&atid=107130. Any detail you can add to that bug about recreating it would be very helpful. |

Nemloc, your problem is very weird... Did you run the latest release of the plugin (v1.1 in which I rewrote most of the HTTP code, especially the one for the login request) in the most verbose mode? |

Yes, I'm using the latest version. I further debugged it to hanging inside the LrHttp.postMultipart function of Lightroom. When it succeeds, the function returns, when it hangs that function just never returns. It seems to be sending the correct request at all times. Is there any way to verify what the server is receiving and what the server is doing about it? Are there any settings on the hosting server that would affects how often or how much I can upload? I checked my php sizelimit and it seemed fine. Is there an open gallery that I can test uploading with the plugin to? I want to try to figure out if it's my client or my server that has the issue. |

This plugin is great! I am using it with LR 1.3 and am thinking of upgrading LR to 1.4. Is this plugin working with 1.4? Thanks again! |

Update: I have my windows laptop and my mac side by side on the same network connecting to the same gallery. Both running Lightroom 1.3.1. The windows box has no problem exporting to gallery in any combination of number of images and repeats. The mac still mostly hangs the export task in Lightroom. EDIT: also tried it with LR 1.4.1 on the Mac. Same behavior. Is anyone using this plugin on a Mac? is there anything that needs to be done as far as openning up security or cookie behavior for this to work reliably on the mac? |

Nemloc, This reminds me of a TCP / HTTP timeout problem. I've seen such a problem with the Flickr plugin used on Windows. When large pictures were sent to flickr, the LrHTTP POST method received a socket error because Flickr did not respond soon enough. The test was easy to do : try with small pictures and then with large ones. At some point, it's going to fail. The solution was to change a timeout value in the Windows Registry. Maybe it is a similar problem on Mac OS X. By the way, I know other users of this plugin on Mac OS X. Can you retry with small pictures (less than 100kB files)? |

Retried with smaller pics (~30k) but had the same behavior. First export after a reboot works, and than following attempts fail with the task just hanging. The Lightroom task bar in the top left just never completes and goes away. Tracing through the log the LrHttp::Postmultipart call just doesn't return it seems. (the trace after the call never gets called when it hangs) |

Can you try to upload pictures with your mac to Flickr using Jeff Friedl's plugin ? (http://regex.info/blog/photo-tech/lightroom-flickr/) I'd like to know if the problem is specific to the Gallery plugin or also appears on the Flickr plugin. |

Just tried the flickr plugin you linked and it worked without any issues. I tried single images, multiple images, small (~30k), large (~5meg), and repeats. All worked. I than tried the gallery export and it failed exactly the same as before, just hanging the task. Lightroom is still functional but that task just sits there not doing anything. No network traffic is taking place, etc. thoughts? |

Ran some more tests with both the Ubermind beta plugin for gallery and Lapinoo's one, lightroom 1.3.1 & 1.4.1: Tests conducted using 50k, 1meg, and 5 meg images as well as jpg and NEF files starting photos. No difference. All of these tests were to my site which is hosted by dreamhost.com. Is there a gallery site that I would be able to upload photos to test to? (ie: open site, or free trial of host gallery 2 somewhere, or an account on someone's site) I'm running out of options for making this work on my mac which is really a shame. It always hangs in the LrHttp:postmultipart call to gallery which doesn't return. (no errors or anything) The flicker plugin works just fine in all scenarios. any help would really be appreciated. |

Tested with LR 2.1 and gallery 2.26 on MacOS 10.5 works perfect! The only thing I do is make the albums in Gallery itself, since I cannot find how to make subalbums. |

Hi, I cannot get this plugin to work with LR2.1 and Winxp. The plugin won't even load up. When I click on it in the Export dialog I get this erorr, "The plug-in had an internal error while opening the export dialog." In the plugin manager window it lists this in the log file. "GalleryUploadExportDialogSections.lua:39: attempt to index field "?' (a nil value) Any ideas? |
