Thanks Rod - I'll make do with Backlight 1 and live with the limitations for this purpose.
Hi,
I am on the road and I need to add a gallery to an existing set.
I have just installed LR and the TTG Publisher on a new computer, to do this.
Here's the problem:
Since I already have an album set called 'Private Galleries' (on my setup at home), when I 'Create Album Set', I get the message, "Duplicate album set found" and the set is then appended with a '1'.
Then I create an album within that set, as I want to publish a new private gallery.
Once I publish, the new album is not on the website under the the newly renamed gallery 'Private_Galleries1', but instead under a new album called 'Private-Galleries1' (The underscore replaced by a dash).
How do I change the album so that it is in the Album Set with the underscore?
Thanks.
Edit: It's actually not the underscore that is the problem - I can rename it, but the problem is LR won't allow me to add an Album set that has the exact name as my other LR publisher name. So I can't add new albums to the album set that exists on the other system.
What is the workaround please?
Ok, so I looked at the plugin, realized that since I do have the old HD hooked up, decided to just copy the whole catalog over to the new HD and just use that to add the new albums in the future.
(Without the plugin)
Did a test and it worked.
Thanks for the help Rod!
To summarize, I have added a new album set called Client Galleries.
I want my old albums to be moved over to there.
Physically, they were copied over to the new folder, but backlight does not 'see' them.
I could add them at the LR level and publish them, and that would work, but that's a lot of work as there are thousands of images!
No - this is a brand new install, so new catalogue.
I tried with FTP copying the albums from the old (existing) album set called Private Galleries into a new album set called Client Galleries.
So the folder physically has the old albums in it, but they do not show up in backlight
(here: http://www.marlajenkinsphotography.com/ … bums&p1=1)
I configured the website to call the 'Client Gallery', but it will only display the new album that I published. Even though they are in the same dir. how do I index those to display?

Hi Rod,
Thanks for the reply. The problem is, I now have a new LR install and my Album Set is being added to the gallery albums as a new album set, with the same name. I need to keep the original album set with all the existing galleries, and add to that set.
Even though the name is the same in LR, it publishes it to my website as a different set.
Maybe I need to somehow move those existing galleries on the actual web page to this 'new' set, then configure the website to use the new set?
Hi all,
I had to re-install LR on a new PC and I have a problem with Publisher:
I re-created a top level Album Set and called it the same name as what I had before (Private Galleries).
LR renames the slug with a ‘2’, because the old one is on the website, of course.
I then created an album inside this Album Set
When I Publish, I go to Backlight settings and the album is there, but it is in a duplicate “Private Galleries” album.
I want this album to be in the correct, original “Private Galleries”.
How do I tell Backlight that the Album Set in LR Publisher is now replacing the original one?
Here is where the duplicate galleries show up:

Hmmm. Is there a better host out there? I remember TTG recommending Bluehost. How about Fatcow? Others?
