I uploaded the same file using the Costco uploader and the same thing happened. To test if there is a character limit I changed the image name to 17 characters long (the length I need), then 20, then 21, and there was no problem, so it must be an artificial limit in their API.

As we all know, big corporate wheels turn very slow. Many online photo labs haven't yet realized that open API and photo management plug-ins could give them the much wanted competitive edge.

It would be interesting to see if Costco is willing to licence this from you to expand the breadth of their offering. I had assumed that no such plug in existed and stumbled upon this by accident when searching for the Costco Canada ICC profile.

I had one issue with the software and Vlaad had replied in minutes. Thanks for taking the time to create and maintain this project. Great job ! This is a great plugin and on that I use quite often.

The operation is safe, and it takes only a second. And again, the only change it does to your catalog is add a single metadata field.

Why plug-in needs to update catalog at installation time? Is this by design or just a side effect? Hi,

If you're saying the title can be changed after the photo has been uploaded, then perhaps the plug-in can be taught to do that behind the scenes... Just thinking out loud :) Good, and I’ll see if anything can be done from my side to work around that limitation.

I have confirmed that it is a limitation at the pnimedia end. (I'll be emailing them about this) Whether or not I use your plug-in, or the java uploader at the Costco website, the filename gets truncated to 15 characters. Of course, I can still modify the title afterwards, but this will be a pain, as I have 500 photos to re-title. Oh well, your plug-in makes it worth the effort. Thanks again! Hi Vlad,
