There doesn't seem to be much new stuff, compared to SDK 3.0, I can see at least these files...

LrDigest

LrVideoExportPreset

LrPhotoPictureView

LR 3.6 also had LrSha256, but that's no longer provided with LR4?

Uh-oh. We got short-changed? Where/how did you find these namespaces?

find "/Applications/Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.app" | grep "/Lr"

I didn't actually try out if they work (apart from LrPhotoPictureView which was discussed in another thread)

Hi

It hasn't been released yet, as you've implied. Not sure what the exact

timing for the release will be. I think they have waited till the first dot

release to publish the SDK for some previous versions. It certainly isn't

uncommon for the SDK doco to lag the official release by some time period.

It is coming. Just need to be a little more patient than we'd like!

Thanks, Matt

Hi Matt,

I would be interested only in the description how to create my own templates for the book module in Scribus. I mean what properties the Scribus result needs to have in order to function as a template. And how I get this into LR4 to show up in the book module.

Could that be available already somewhere?

Thanks, Cornelia

Maybe there will be a whole bunch of new Lr... functions when 4.2 is released - I can't imagine them all being added to Lr4.1 final without having an RC3.

just idle speculation...

LrView.viewFactory appears to support these new methods:

square_button

catalog_photo

simple_list

scrolled_view

catalog_photo() has been discussed in another thread. The other three look curious. Scrollable lists and general scrollable views are understandable, given how many plugins have used less satisfactory approaches to scrolling. But what's a "square_button"?

I can't imagine. - good question...

Perhaps it's like a clickable rectangular region, so you can make "image maps" like in html.

I guess no way to surmise function call parameters?

Tried the square_button in place of normal push_button in Web Gallery and it looked like this - worked too!

Will help with styling I guess ...

Thanks Blatman,

While a square button (& others) is nice, I sure hope Adobe has more in store...

Cheers,

BUT YOU CAN GET IT FROM HERE: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/developer/lightroom/sdk/Lightroom_S DK_4.0.zip

The link worked well enough for me now.

But correct me if I'm wrong: there is nothing contained about creation of additional templates for the Book Module.

Even the word "book" exists exactly once in the manual-PDF, where it recommends sources how to learn LUA.

What a disappointment !

Looks as if Adobe have abandoned their half-baked Book Module immediately...

Is book module template creation under the umbrella of the SDK? Maybe there is another resource for that??

PS - No square button documented in SDK 4, that I could find.

I've never seen anyone indicate that Book Module template creation would be covered by the SDK. The SDK is fundamentally for supporting development of plugins and web galleries and they both rely heavily upon LUA coding.
