Auto-export plugin for Adobe Lightroom Classic

Have your complete Lightroom library exported to a certain location automatically in the background

Installation

1. Clone this repository or download the folder to your disk.

2. Add the plugin by adding the folder in Lightroom via File > Plug-in Manager or press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+,

   

Usage

1. Open the "Export" dialog for any photo in your library.

   Note: If you are planning to also be exporting videos, make sure you first select both a photo and a video to have video options available in the Export dialog.

2. Define export options in the dialog and save them as a preset using the left sidebar.

3. Export the newly created export preset (right-click > Export) and close the dialog via "Cancel"

4. Open the settings via "File" > "Plug-in Extras" > "Auto-export settings"

   

5. Set up the auto-export:

   • Choose the export preset you just exported. The export settings should now be listed in the read-only viewer at the bottom.

   • Choose whether you only want to be auto-exporting picked (flagged) items, or also unpicked/unflagged.

     Note: Rejected photos are always skipped.

   • Choose whether auto-exporting should happen automatically after opening Lightroom, or whether you'd like to trigger it manually via the "File" > "Plug-in Extras" > "Run auto-export" menu.
