Version 1.16 is available for download.

This update restores the ability to use the plug-in after the recent change to the MobileMe online service (see the MobileMe Service Update post for details).

NOTE: Version 1.16 is not going to resolve the issue with Lightroom 3.0 for Mac (x64). For details, see the plug-in’s home page.

For details on other changes in the plug-in, please see the Version History section on the plug-in’s home page.

Last night Apple rolled out of changes to their MobileMe service, including the new navigation via the “cloud” icon. Unfortunately, this has effectively disabled my plug-in and now I am going to need some time to solve the compatibility riddle once again. This should  not take long, I expect to have a new version available by the evening.

See the related news as posted in Apple’s blog:

June 8th 2010 – Adobe has finally released Lightroom 3. Hallelujah!

Lots of new functionality is packed under the hood of the seemingly familiar  user interface. You can find a very detailed overview of the new features in Victoria Bampton’s blog.

One of the new features is the new Publish Services, a very important addition to Lightroom, which offers a completely new approach to the way we get our photos to online photo labs and photo galleries. You can learn about Publish Services from Jeffrey Friedl’s Article. Even though the article is focused primarily on his Export-to-Flickr Plug-in, it provides a very good general coverage of Publish Services and explains how you configure and use them.

For the last few months I’ve been learning the new concept and the new API that goes with it. In the next few days I am planning to release an update for my MobileMe Gallery Plug-in that will enable support for Publish Services. Also, other plug-ins will be updated to provide better support for Lightroom 3, and most of them will also support Publish Services!

However, there is a fine print! :) Considering the amount of time and sweat that went into the development and integration with the new API, I am planning to open support for Publish Services only to registered users.

Version 1.15 is available for download.

This update fixes the issue with logging in when there are no albums in the account. It also fixes the the “Document is empty” error that sometimes appeared when users tried to upload photos.
