Function syntax for LrSelection:setRating

[Joakim Syk]

Hello

I have a Lua syntax question.

I'm trying to set a color label and a star rating to selected images in Lightroom.

LrSelection:increaseRating() works just fine.

LrSelection:setRating(3) throws an error about doing arithmetic on a table value.

LrSelection:setColorLabel("green") throws the error "Label must be one of none, red, green, yellow, blue, purple"

I tried all the syntax variations I could come up with, with no success.

local param = {}

param.label = "green"

LrSelection:setColorLabel(param)

LrSelection:setRating{rating=3}

How are you supposed to call these functions?

Colon in LrSelection:setRating and :setColorLabel is wrong, syntax is LrSelection.setRating and LrSelection.setColorLabel.

Thank you. That was it.

The functions without parameters seem to work either way.
