For what it's worth, when I tried to add an image to the Theater homepage, strange things again happened in Lightroom. I deleted Lightroom from my Mac (keeping all the settings, etc.) and reinstalled it, it now appears to be working correctly again, although it is showing most of the published abums as containing "0" images. I am able to correct this by re-importing them.
But my Theater presentation is bollixed. I have 17 images in the slideshow and it displays the first 16 images, then repeats 11 images previously displayed, then displays the 17th image, and starts over. When I change the presentation from "Vegas Slideshow" to "Filmstrip", the same thing happens (and btw each image in the filmstrip does not fill the frame; the edges of the previous and following frame are present). Maybe I should re-upload Theater 1.2.2? I am going backwards here.
If I do need to re-upload Theater 1.2.2, I need the link, as I have deleted the download I previously did.

Hi Ben,
Phew! I don't know what might have happened, but Lightroom was showing the folder containing the images in question (the Import folder, on the Desktop) as containing 351 images, when it actually contained about 15 images. I deleted the folder from Lightroom and re-imported it, and I appear to be back in business! ???
Randy
I removed that image, and two more that were reported missing, and publication worked. Have not yet tried exporting the images or looked at the folder in question.
Randy
Will do. We are pushing into the evening here, so might be tomorrow before I have an answer

Hi Ben,
Duh. Missed the first part of your message above. I will do as you suggest.
Disk is not even close to full, although everything that is put on the desktop is also put into iCloud, and I have been getting messages to the effect that iCloud is almost full. I have been ignoring those messages, but could that be causing the problem?
Randy
Here are the last few operations. I looked and also searched for "unable to create renditions for", and could not find those words in the whole log.

Okay, I will do that.
Randy
Hi Ben,
And Lightroom cues the new images up for publication, but that message comes up when I click "Publish".
Randy
Yes, it's on the Desktop, as it has always been. And the name has not changed.
Randy
So this just happened. Tried to add photos to a Pangolin Album, and it ain't happening. Lightroom message when publish is attempted: "Can't update this collection. The rendition could not be created. Please ensure that the original file name is accessible, especially when stored on external or network storage." It is.
Since I last did this operation, have updated to Backlight 1.2.2, and may have had a Lightroom update. Never had a problem previously. Anybody else have this problem?
Randy Hoffner
Thx. Good help.
I want to embed a couple snippets of script so that my Comodo SSL logo appears on my pages. Perhaps in the Footer, if there is sufficient room. Where does one embed scripts?
Randy Hoffner
OK, I think I got the above sorted.
I want to report an observation I made on full screen slide show ZoomIn modes. When either ZoomIn or ZoomIn2 was used, the zoom was very jerky and halting using Microsoft Edge browser. Good on all other browsers I tried. I am not using the zoom modes, but for what it is worth, I am reporting what happened.
Randy Hoffner
Ah, ok I see. Just pixels wide by pixels high.
Is there any recommendation on the size of images for inclusion in a Pangolin Theater Full-Screen Slideshow? Is 1000px on the long dimension big enough? And how about ppi? This is a balancing act between quality and speed; anybody found the secret formula?
Randy Hoffner
Nevermind. Figured that one out.
Thanks. My big problem now seems to be how to FTP to site.
Yes! That worked nicely. Thanks again.
Randy
Thanks, Charlie. Great help!
Randy
Guessing it would be in .htaccess
R
In order to use an SSL certificate on my website, I have to serve all content as https, which requires that the http:// links be changed to https:// . So where do I find those links, please?
Thanks,
Randy Hoffner
Great. Thanks.
Randy
One more question, about menus. My Menu section has a default menu and a pangolin menu. The pangolin menu is not populated. I presume these menus are not pangolin- or okapi- specific, but that alternative menus would be used to create menus with different items on them. Is this a correct presumption?
Randy
Thanks. How quickly I forget!
Randy
