Export with Preset #503

Open TerryHewitt opened 3 years ago

TerryHewitt commented 3 years ago

I would like to bind ("Export with Preset" + name of the preset) to a key

I can see commands for "Export" and "Export Again" (which I can use if I make sure do the first export manually)

I can't see how to do this. Have I missed something or is this a feature request?

Best wishes

Terry

There are two basic ways to add functionality to MIDI2LR: 1) find a keystroke combination that'd do it, since MIDI2LR can send keystrokes to LR. 2) find a way in the LR SDK API to do it.

I can't find any keystroke combination that would do what you want (see https://www.lightroomqueen.com/keyboard-shortcuts/lrcc6/ for a good list of shortcuts), so that leaves the API. The API has a section on exporting that is very complex, and I haven't touched it yet. If someone could evaluate that API and develop a lua subroutine to do what you want, I could integrate it into MIDI2LR. Integrating new actions is extremely simple—the hard part is figuring out how to make LR do what you want it to do.
