This update fixes the issue with logging in for some users. Visit the Photobox plug-in home page to download the update.

This update resolves the “bad argument #1 to ‘sub’” error, fixes the issue with automatic version checking, and adds a few improvements.

For a detailed list of changes in this version, see the Snapfish plug-in home page.

This update fixes some glitches in the authorization process and add the ability to submit the debug log for troubleshooting directly from the plug-in. Most importantly, this version makes the plug-in compatible with Lightroom 3. However, due to an internal bug in Lightroom, the plug-in doesn’t work in Lightroom 3.0 for Mac OS.

This update fixes instability issues caused by an intermittent behavior of the MobileMe service, which has worsened lately and started causing frequent failures. While implementing workaround for that issue I found a way to make the plug-in tolerant to users logging in and out of the MobileMe web service while using the plug-in. Now you can access your me.com mail and browse your galleries while the plug-in is uploading pictures.

Another addition, is the ability to submit debug logs for troubleshooting right from the plug-in. The Submit Debug Log button can be found on the Plug-in Info panel.

NOTE: Version 1.17 is not going to resolve the issue with Lightroom 3.0 for Mac (x64). For details, see the plug-in’s home page.

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.

• The New MobileMe Mail. Now Available to All Members
• New Navigation on Me.com

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.
