This project is a plugin for Adobe Lightroom Classic that synchronizes photos to a web gallery. It uses the Adobe Lightroom SDK to integrate seamlessly with Lightroom Classic.
- Install Adobe Lightroom Classic.
- Copy the
Lychee.lrdevpluginfolder to the Lightroom plugins directory (or add it where it is via Add Plugin) - Enable the plugin in Lightroom Classic.
- Configyure site URL, username and password in Plugin Manager
- Use Lua for scripting.
- Follow Adobe's Lightroom SDK documentation.
- Follow Lychee's API (append /docs/api to your gallery URL)
Login and upload images to a gallery
- Login - working
- List all available galleries - TODO
- Upload images - TODO
Once the user has added the plugin - they enter their credentials via the plugin admin page in the Plugin Manager window.
The album tree will be fetched and created as a folder structure under the Lychee Publish Service (collection/collection sets or similar)
On publish - add a custom tag to each image with its lychee ID (or something like that)
TODO - check for any changes in Lychee API v2
| Publish Service Action | Lychee API | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Add new image to publish service | Photo::add + Photo::setTags | |
| Update a published image (editing or metadata change) | Photo::delete then Photo::add + Photo::setTags | Did not see a replace or update method |
| Remove image from publish service | Photo::delete | |
| Add collection or collection set | Album::add | |
| Rename collection or collection set | Album::setTitle | |
| Delete a collection or collection set | Album::delete | Do we really want to do this? |
- Existing images from before the plugin was set up - can we sync back to LR if we have them in LR?
- Do we want to delete albums? Or should the user do that in the web admin?
- If we have a published collection and the user deletes it via the web - how to handle?
- If the user deletes an image in an album via the web - can we pick this up?
