Thanks for the feedback.
Problem reproduced and fixed in the 2.0.3 release.
Salut!
Really a great plugin, thanks! The only problem is, that – being on Mac – special characters (umlauts) get crippled when uploading to Gallery. I don’t have this problem on Windows, but get the same effect, when uploading to a Coppermine image gallery. I found this thread http://gallery.menalto.com/node/72147, but the workaround, described there, did not work in my case.
The problem obviously has to do with the way, on Mac metadata is written to jpg files. It is NOT a Lightroom problem solely, I had the same problem with ViewNX for instance.
After hours of research I found a workaround myself, which consist in rewriting the tags, which are of interest for me and for the export to Gallery, with the help of exiftool while converting special characters to entities. Here is the code:
exiftool -r -overwrite_original -E ‘-Description>ImageDescription’ ‘-Description>Caption-Abstract’ ‘-Subject>Keywords’ ‘-Location>Sub-location’ ‘-Country>Country-PrimaryLocationName’ ‘-City>City’ /directory/where/the/image/files/reside
I created a routine with Macs Automator (called automatically by Lightroom after exporting), which does not only execute the command above, but also uploads the resulting files via ftp to the tmp directiory of Gallery. But from here on, I do the last step the manual way.
Did you hear about this problem with special characters? And do you have an idea, how possibly fix it in a more elegant way than described above? I would love to use your plugin, but also keep my german umlauts in descriptions, keywords etc.
Regards
Tobi
