Hi everybody,

I'm looking for the function which listing all exporting process (see my pict). My LR version is in french and it is a little bit difficult - for me - to find the name of the correct function into the SDK (argh, 'cause french translation ).

Is it "getPublishServices" ?

Thank you a lot

Unfortunately, I don't believe there is an API function that lists all the export presets.

However, the user presets are stored in the Export Presets folder, which you can find by doing Preferences > Presets > Show Lightroom Presets Folder.  These files are easily read using the Lua function loadfile().  You can extract the export settings from the loaded objects and pass them to LrExportSession().

Great. Thank you John. Good news

Correct. I found a complete list of presets in the Export Presets folder. Yeah.

Another question. Is it possible to launch à User Export Preset directly from the API ?

Read the contents of the .lrtemplate file using the Lua library loadfile() or dofile(). That sets the global variable "s" to the contents you see in the file. Make a new table that's a copy of s.value, but with every key prefixed with "LR_", e.g. changing:

exportServiceProviderTitle = "Hard Drive",

export_bitDepth = 16,

to:

LR_exportServiceProviderTitle = "Hard Drive",

LR_export_bitDepth = 16,

Then pass that table to LrExportSession(), and use the methods of that class to run the export.
