New in Export to Facebook 20130820.238 (Aug 20, 2013)

  • Adapted to changes at Facebook in how deleted photos are handled.
  • Better handle very long user account names, so that the [Logout] button doesn't get cut off of the Export dialog.
  • Made big updates to the "Export with Smart Previews?" section; you can now pick to be asked whether to export via Smart Previews, and can differentiate between when the Smart Previews are "good enough" for an export and when they are not.
  • Fixed the KW/KWE tables in template tokens; they had been broken when using load for the script.

New in Export to Facebook 20130701.237 (Jul 2, 2013)

  • Work around a bug that causes the export-related progress bar to not show up right away.

New in Export to Facebook 20130524.231 (May 28, 2013)

  • Apparently, a recent change broke things on Lr2, which some folks apparently still use.

New in Export to Facebook 20130520.230 (May 21, 2013)

  • Added the ability in Lr5 to export images even if the master image file is not available, so long as there's a smart preview available.

New in Export to Facebook 20130501.229 (May 1, 2013)

  • Update for Lr5

New in Export to Facebook 20130412.228 (Apr 18, 2013)

New in Export to Facebook 20130330.225 (Mar 30, 2013)

  • Fix to match Facebook's (undocumented and unannounced breaking change) in the Authentication flow.

New in Export to Facebook 20130319.223 (Mar 19, 2013)

New in Export to Facebook 20130214.221 (Feb 19, 2013)

  • Small fix for Lr2

New in Export to Facebook 20130206.218 (Feb 7, 2013)

  • Update the Twitter-related code to handle their new API. Their old API goes away next month.

New in Export to Facebook 20130201.217 (Feb 4, 2013)

  • Added the ability to use "automatic destinations" (the naming of target galleries based upon image metadata) in Publish. It's been in Export for years (as illustrated in this 2008 article on backing up), and you must create the destination presets from Export, but you can now access them in Publish.
  • Added the ability to set the caption on a one-off basis by just typing it in, avoiding the need to make a preset each time.
  • A lot of work on the upload datapath, making it more efficient and restoring the ability to retry the attempt on certain errors.

New in Export to Facebook 20121203.216 (Dec 4, 2012)

  • Add a link to the FAQ for the "missing destination cookies" error.

New in Export to Facebook 20121014.215 (Oct 16, 2012)

  • Added a help dialog when encountering the mysterious 'handle in the wrong state' error.

New in Export to Facebook 20121010.214 (Oct 10, 2012)

  • Fixed Twitter authentication.

New in Export to Facebook 20121009.213 (Oct 9, 2012)

  • Workaround for an "attempt to call field 'getProgressScope'" bug introduced in Lr4.2.

New in Export to Facebook 20121009.212 (Oct 9, 2012)

  • Added the ability to create new galleries directly from the Publish Service context menu.
  • Enhance the {EMPTY} template token so that it interrupts the squelching of superfluous joining characters.
  • Fixed some issues surrounding the "Create Album" dialog in Publish.

New in Export to Facebook 20120821.211 (Aug 22, 2012)

  • Updates to the environment in the {LUA} token (in the template tokens in the developer's plugins) to include photoTime() and currentTime(), and other changes to match the updated docs at that link.

New in Export to Facebook 20120614.210 (Jun 25, 2012)

  • Very slow uploads in Lr4.1 could cause the new progress bar stuff to blow up.
  • Twitter support now allows suppressing "Private" geoencoded locations in Lr4.1+

New in Export to Facebook 20120602.209 (Jun 2, 2012)

  • New upload engine in Lr4.1 that greatly increases the efficiency of large uploads. In Lr4.0 and older versions, upload handling is inefficient and large uploads can crash Lightroom.
  • With Lr4.1 and later, you also get an upload percent-complete report in the task progress bar, and the ability for upload cancels to take effect immediately.
  • Update to handle the Mac App Store version of Lightroom.

New in Export to Facebook 20120508.208 (May 18, 2012)

  • Lr2 registrations were broken again.
