Album Sets and "Publish" button
In LR, when I select an album set inside a Publisher instance, the "Publish" button hilites, even when none of the albums in the set need publishing. If I click on it, something gets published (not sure what), and the button remains active afterwards.
I can check that none of the albums in the set need publishing by selecting each album in the set and the Publish button remains inactive.
I have tried this with "Push metadata without updating existing photos" checked and unchecked.
Is this normal?

Re: Album Sets and "Publish" button
It looks to me that all it does is scan the albums within the set and publishes anything that's been marked for publishing or re-publishing

Re: Album Sets and "Publish" button
I was thinking that if none of the albums in an album set needed publishing, then the "Publish" button would not be active when you click on that album set.

Re: Album Sets and "Publish" button
One would think so. Adobe apparently thinks differently

Re: Album Sets and "Publish" button
Well, on my Win7 Computer LR respectively CE4 Publisher behaves exactly the way You expect.
But if I change the settings of my Publisher service concerning things like e.g. watermarking or file naming, I'm prompted whether I want all photos published with this service republished.
At least after I forced the photos in an album to be republished completely ,the "publish" Button gets greyed out.
LR will not notice if You edit an anlbum's or an album set's settings. If You change an album to enable maps or use another template or show another number of photos on one page or things like that, my "publish" button stays grey. To forcibly publish I must right-click the album name and choose "Jetzt veröffentlichen" which certainly be will be "Publish now" in english installations. Publishing changes that affect not the photos but just the album is very quick.

Re: Album Sets and "Publish" button
That make sense. Every time I change that "Push Metadata" setting it asks me if I want to mark everything for republishing. I just say no and move on. Apparently Lightroom thinks I need to republish :>|
