Sometimes, I apply an auto-toning preset to a photo, and it seems to work just fine, first time, as evidenced by the UI: * auto-toned values are displayed. * auto-tone "button" is disabled, as it should be. so far so good, *BUT* plugin is still reading bupkis values, here is an excerpt from a plugin's log file: 2013-07-21 15:11:39 com.robcole.OttoToner INFO Basic settings did not settle as expected - current values: 2013-07-21 15:11:39 com.robcole.OttoToner INFO Exposure: -999999, Contrast: -999999, Highlights: -999999, Shadows: -999999, Whites: -999999, Blacks: -999999, Clarity: 3 2013-07-21 15:11:39 com.robcole.OttoToner ERROR ****** ERROR #1: Original/auto-tone not settling - PV2012 settings have not settled (after a fairly long wait). Note: values for basic settings being returned by photo:getDevelopSettings() are the -999999 values which mean "Lr thinking/computing new values" even though Lr has already thought about it and come up with the new values. Worth noting: values for develop settings are being checked *after* returning from catalog with-do method in which the preset was applied, and there was no error applying the preset - clearly a bug in Lr, from a SDK perspective. Also note: this behavior is only occasional, but when it happens on a photo, it may keep happening for a while to that photo (but not necessarily to others), yet sometimes Lr will straighten itself out and stop doing it on those photos (e.g. after an Lr restart).
