Question

Can’t update this collection in processRenderedPhotos

Hello,

I am working on a Publish Service.

Now I am trying to retrieve information about a certain collection within a "processRenderedPhotos" process.

I am using catalog:getPublishedCollectionByLocalIdentifier(). However, it ends up with this error:

Can’t update this collection.

An internal error has occurred: Can't get collection information after creating collection inside the same withWriteAccessDo function

I don't know why it is written "Can't update" because I am only getting a collection. Seems like it is impossible to do this within a processRenderedPhotos but why? Any way I can go around this?

Thanks a lot!

Without seeing your code, I don't have any ideas why you might be getting that error.

However, what information about which collection do you need? An LrExportContext object (passed to processRenderedPhotos()) has lots of information about the current LrPublishedCollection.

Hello John,

The code is long but if you have a processRenderedPhotos function somewhere, drop a call to getPublishedCollectionByLocalIdentifier() and you will see it doesn't work.

I need information not only about the current LrPublishedCollection but about the parents. I also want to setRemoteId on all those. Now, I wonder, isn't it the place to set the remote ID for the collections and sets?


I was thinking I could setRemoteID when the collections are created but what if the user does this in the train, without connection? And choose to Publish later?

exportContext.publishedCollection is the current published collection.  Does the method :getParent() work properly within processRenderedPhotos()?  And does :setRemoteId() also work in that context?
