flingo64 / PhotoStation-Upload-Lr-Plugin

Photo StatLr (aka PhotoStation Upload) is a Lightroom Publish and Export Service Plugin that enables the export /publishing of photos and videos from Lr to a Synology Photo Station. It uploads the photos/videos and all required thumbnails. It can download comments and ratings and do a real two-way synch of various metadata (tags, ratings, labels).

Location tag in new Photos #70

Closed PaulWalkerUK closed 1 year ago

PaulWalkerUK commented 1 year ago

For the old PhotoStation version of this plugin, it was possible to construct a Location field that PhotoStation would use. When I set the version drop-down to the latest "Photos 1.1", those Location fields aren't available, but it seems Photos still manages to find a location - I assume Photos is doing its own geocoding? I take it we can't populate/influence the textual Location from Lightroom any more?

In the UI (App or Web) I didn't find a way to define location tags. So, it's hard to guess whether there actually is an API call to do this (remember: the whole Photos API isn't documented anyway, same as for Photo Station API). Therefore, this capability was disabled for Photos. Anyway, you typically derive the location tags in Lr from a reverse geo-coding of GPS coords. So, if you have the location tag, you have the GPS coords also. In that case, Photos will do the reverse geocoding and that's fine.

If you have a reasonable use case, where you have location tags in Lr, but no GPS coords, we could re-enable the capability and store them as generic tag.

No worries, thanks for the nice plug-in (I hope they add it to the API later)
