I just installed the plugin to Lightroom 3 on my Mac. Version: 1.3 Build 201002031602

If I upload to a new album in Shutterfly, it worked fine. If I specified an existing album, i received an error message and the upload was not successful.

The status says: the plug-in is enabled, but has encountered some problems. Should I disable, delete the plug-in file and start from the beginning with the download file?

Thanks,
Ron

I really appreciate it. But I am frustrated that my captions aren't exporting to Shutterfly. Is there a workaround for this? Or a way that you can update it where the captions export as well? I am using Mac. I don't know if this is a Windows problem too. Thanks again! <em>[While I'd really like to upload Lightroom's Title and Caption data along with your images, Shutterfly's API doesn't offer a way to do this.

When I try to install on a Mac, instead of installing, Lightroom opens automatically, as if I'm trying to import photos. Any thoughts? <em>Hi Dave! I'm not a Mac guy, so I'm not sure what's going on here, but there shouldn't be anything during the installation that causes Lightroom to launch automatically. Take another look at the install instructions on the download page to double check that you're not missing something. In summary, it should be 1) unzip the plug-in files, 2) launch Lightroom (manually ;-) ), 3) install using the Lightroom plug-in manager. If this is what you're doing, at which step does Lightroom launch? -Don]</em> Hi Don.

I've never encountered a case where the order is different from that displayed in the Grid view. What you should do, though, is verify the sort order of your album on the Shutterfly site. When viewing the image thumbnails for your album, take a look at the "Sort by:" dropdown near the bottom of the page. I'll bet you have it set to something other than "Date taken (old to new)". -Don Hi Laura,

For the most part, I love it. For some reason, though, my pictures upload in some random order rather than in the order I have them in Lightroom. In many circumstances, this wouldn't be a problem, but when I'm uploading pictures from my kids' sporting events, it gets confusing. Any suggestions? Thanks!
