As you may already know, with the release of LR 1.3 came a limited Export SDK for Export Plugins.

To get one started visit How to Install a Lightroom Export Plugin where Jeffrey Friedl will show you how to install them.

Plugins will eventually be available for uploading to SmugMug, and Zenfolio via LR Export. Currently there are Flickr and FTP Plugins are available from the SDK Download

Enjoy.

Glad to hear that. This is just the beginning of what can be added to LR to expand its usability.

More to come!

Thanks for posting this great resource! The smugmug exporter is fantastic.

Thanks so much.
 
I just updated to the latest version of the smugmug plugin today. Now I'm getting an error message every time.

An internal error has occurred: Win32 API error (unknown error -- Format MessageW vailed" when calling HttpSendRequest from private_AgHttpClient_post_l

The photos are ultimately uploading to SmugMug despite the error, but there seems to be a delay (this may be on the SmugMug end)

It has worked flawlessly until now. Is anyone else getting a similar message?
 
Did you also try posting a comment on Jeffrey's Blog page for the SmugMug plugin? He is not a reader here, that I know of.

Just found this on his blog:

Some users on Windows get a FormatMessageW failed error when uploading with this or other plugins. Most users don't get it, but those that do seem to get it often. Currently, no one knows the cause.
If you experience this error, you have my condolences. Free free to vent your understandable frustration, but please realize that commenting about it here won't help solve the problem.
Windows engineers with insight are encouraged to comment on Adobe's SDK Forum.

I guess I'll have to live with it. I'm one of the "Frequent" recipients.
 
does anybody know if it can only upload the original - unedited version? if i've made some white balance, crop, etc adjustments, is there a way to export those? i seem to be having a problem with this. is mogrify any different?

thanks
 
Which plugin are you trying to use Rich? Can you give us more information? I may split this off into it's own thread but I can't decide what the title should be!

And are you wanting to upload original (as in the original with no adjustments) or a full size version with your lightroom adjustments?
 
Hello! I installed the flickr export plugin but it needs a Flickr API key. Should I apply for one on flickr services site?
 
Yes, they have to give you an API key. Its an easy process.
