How to tap into the progress scope for publish collection updating

Apr 22, 2012 6:16 AM

By default, Lightroom puts up a progress scope:

 

title: Updating Published Collections

caption: Updating Publish Collection

 

I'd like to replace it with a better one, or at least modify the caption.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Rob

    Is this supposed to be a feature? - that all publish service updates look the same, and progress is very un-informative: it's supposed to just work...

     

    I mean, I can always put up a second progress scope for details - but then there's two of them when there should be only one: yuck.

    Hey Rob,

     

    I do this:

     

      local progressArgs = {

                  ["title"] = "This is the main title",

                  }

     

      local progress = exportContext:configureProgress(progressArgs)

     

      for i, rendition in exportContext:renditions() do

            --- whatever

          progress:setCaption("This is the small text below the progress")

     

      end

    Optimator,

     

    Have you got this working in a publish service too?

     

    It only works for me when it's being exercised as a reglar export, not as a publish service.

     

    As a publish service its always:

     

    upd_pub_coll_prog_scope.png

    Note: the published collection name is "Publish Collection" in this case, but the caption is always "Updating {collection name}".

     

    As a reglar export:

     

    upd_pub_coll_export.png

     

    Same code, similar to your example.

     

    ???

     

    Rob

    I think the problem lies in the fact that, in the case of publishing, the progressScope that you have access to in processRenderedPhotos() is a child of the scope being displayed in Lightroom (the scope being displayed shows the progress of the entire publish operation, spread over one or more published collections, with processRenderedPhotos() being called once for each collection).  In the case of a "normal" export, the scope you get and the one being displayed are one in the same.

     

    I realize this doesn't help, but at least may give you some insight into what (I think) is going on.

     

    -Don
