Example: In Lightroom I change the name of multiple image files. I would like to see appear Piwigo the new name without having to return the entire picture (very long and pointless). Just the filename ...
Hi Gotcha,
You can synchronize metadata only using the "Extras" function (File > Plug-in Extras > Piwigo Export Plug-in Extras > Synchronize Metadata). Please note, this allows you to modify photo title and description. The file name cannot be changed, and the latter is a limitation of Piwigo API. I also suppose this would be a difficult to implement feature because renaming a photo would involve renaming of several files including rendered versions of the photo at different resolution plus thumbnail images.
However, if the ability to rename a photo is added to Piwigo API, I would be able to easily implement support this feature in my plug-in :)

It's done since Piwigo v2.3.2

Hey! Thanks!
Somehow I missed that. I'll try to incorporate this feature in the next update.

I hit a snag here... Lightroom does not mark photos "edited" when you rename the file.
In fact, when you rename the file, Lightroom does not trigger any notification to force the update. So, I am afraid the idea of synchronizing file names of modified photos cannot be implemented because Lightroom does not mark such photos modified. :(

Okay, I understand the problem.
Fortunately it is possible to note manuelement a picture to "Republish".
You just have to add an option in the plugin to synchronize just the name of the photo.
Change the name of a photo is not really a household communications operation, so it is quite normal that everything is not automatic ;-)

Version 1.6.0 Beta is available for download
In this update:
* Added support for chunked uploads (requires Piwigo 2.3.3 and above). This is a major change targeted for customers who are unable to control their PHP environments and increase post size limits to handle large uploads (low post size limits is a typical issue for customers on shared hosting). Chunked uploads transfer photos in small chunks of only 200 KB, which should be sufficient to circumvent even the most rigorous post size limits.
* Added support for file renaming (requested by Gotcha). Now "Synchronize Metadata" also updates the file name of the photo if the name is changed in Lightroom.
* Implemented additional safeguards for PHP notices, warnings, and errors that could affect the interaction between the plug-in and Piwigo API.
You can download version 1.6.0 here: http://alloyphoto.com/plugins/piwigo/
Please try the new version and let me know if there are any issues.
Thank you!

Thank you Vladimir,
The v1.6.0 (BETA) is very good for my request.
This was a request some special but I like that the file names match perfectly between Lightroom and Piwigo.
Now it is very easy to maintain in good repair the links between the photos and published the photos in Lightroom.
Thank you very much for your great work.

It's good to hear the new version is working as expected!
I curious if anyone hosting Piwigo on a free/shared hosting had a chance to test a large upload (in terms of the photo size and resolution) with version 1.6.0.

Version 1.6.0 Beta (build #978) is available for download.
This build fixes the issue with photo thumbnails not being generated when performing chunked uploads.

Some good news - the Piwigo plug-in is featured on Adobe's page for Lightroom 4 plugins:
http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop … esets.html
In case you were wondering, version 1.6 is fully compatible with Lightroom 4.

Good news, and thanks again for your great work.

Vlad,
I just tried installing the unregistered version of v1.5.5 of your plugin under Lightroom 3.6. The installation appeared to go well, but the plugin is not shown in the "Export To" dropdown of the Export dialog box. The same thing happens with the v1.6.0 beta version of the plugin. This is under MAC OS X 10.7.3. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
It's supposed to be located in the publish module.
