I cannot publish any more (windows), the error message is not very helpful! Newest version of LR & plugin.

Hi @thomaskraichtal

 

Thanks for posting and for sharing the screenshot. Since Tree Publisher is a third-party plugin, Lightroom Classic itself may be functioning as expected, and our troubleshooting scope may be limited. That said, we’ll need a bit more information to better understand what’s failing and why. Could you please share the following details?

  • Lightroom Classic version (Help > About Lightroom Classic)

  • Tree Publisher plugin version

  • Did this issue begin after a recent Lightroom Classic or Windows update?

  • Have you tried publishing from a new test catalog, or does the issue occur only in this catalog?

 

A couple of quick checks you can also try meanwhile:

  • Restart Lightroom Classic and run it once as Administrator

  • Temporarily disable other third-party plugins to rule out conflicts

  • Check if the plugin has the required folder/file permissions on Windows

 

Once we have these details, we can guide you better. 

 

Regards,

Srishti

Unfortunately, you are correct that the error message is not helpful. In addition, it is also unfortunate for us that Jeffrey Friedl has retired and as far as I can tell (and I hope I am wrong), he doesn't spend much time fixing bugs and he doesn't spend much time responding to questions. Nevertheless, I think your only hope is to leave a message at Jeffrey's website for this plug-in.
