Updating Publisher in LR... problem.

coyotepixel · 2016-11-01 14:52:19

I have updated LR TTG Publisher plug-in to Backlight 105, version 3.0.5. Plug-in Manager says that the plug-in is enabled. I've updated my Backlight site to 105.

When I go to Edit Settings for Publisher to check settings, especially the "Push Metadata..." option as per my last inquiry about Thumbnail size change via Album Template (Rod's Response) , Lightroom Publishing Manager window in left column indicates that TTG Publisher is "(not saved)". I haven't changed anything in the Publisher settings at this point.

If I select Save, I get a message saying " You have changed the setting for this publish connection. Do you want to mark all 1887 photo in this connection to be re-published, or leave them as they are now."

Two options: Leave As-Is or Republish All.

I have now noticed that all my albums photos are marked "Modified Photos to Re-Publish"

What to do? Republish All?

If you don't want to re-publish, then select, right-click and "Mark as Up-to-date"

On Mac, maybe Control Click?
I don't see that option when Control Clicking on Album. It says Mark to Republish, etc.

Lr Publisher is not very smart. I always select Leave As-Is and then republish the gallery that needs to be republished. If you only changed the thumbnail dimension, don't forget to select "Publish thumbnails without updating other renditions".

Since everything is marked to re-publish, you will need to do this eventually. I would set "Publish metadata only..." to get all the galleries into "published" state.

Thanks, Daniel. I see the "Publish Thumbnails w/o updating...etc" in Publisher.
Can't seem to find 'Publish Metadata Only' option. Is that the "Push Metadata w/o updating existing photos" option?

I've noticed that no matter how many times I click Save in LR Publisher Manager, the TTG Publisher in the Publisher Services list to the left indicates TTG Publisher is Not Saved.

Yes

You can safely ignore that...LR publisher bug not reflecting that you've saved the publisher instance configuration. If you click a different one and then go back to the one you were playing with, you should see the settings were persisted properly.

Thank you, Sun Fox!
