develop in library module

[Carlos Canales]

hi, i want to know if can i develop in library module directly without going to develop module, for example i want to change the exposure. thanks!

[Rory Jaffe]

Yes. Use the quick develop commands: https://github.com/rsjaffe/MIDI2LR/wiki/Commands#8

No, those edits weren't put in because Adobe screwed up how they supported that. I may to try to address that in the next release.

Hi,

Please address that as for me, a wedding photographer who edit`s hundreds of photo`s per event, going to the Develop module is time consuming and It`s much faster staying and editing on the library module.
I am still using LR5 with "Paddy for lightroom" plugin that allows me to assign keyboard command that effect the library quick develop buttons though that plugin got discontinued when the CC version came out,
come to think of it - it`s probably for the reason you stated.. that Adobe screwed that up..
Thank you

I was busy with the new masks interface. Now I'll get to adding in the quick develop commands.

Hello, many many thanks for the update... you are saving my life...
anyway it is possible to quick edit via vsco keys:

I have a trial version that should work. To try it out, if you have not yet installed the latest version of MIDI2LR, do so (https://github.com/rsjaffe/MIDI2LR/releases/latest). Then, extract the files from the attached Client.zip (attached to this message) and place those inside MIDI2LR.lrplugin. Run Lightroom and you'll see the new options under quick develop submenu

If you have already installed the latest version, extract the files from the attached Client.zip (attached to this message) and place those inside MIDI2LR.lrplugin. Mac Users: Go to ~/Library/Application Support/MIDI2LR/ and delete MenuTrans.xml. Windows Users: Go to %AppData%\MIDI2LR and delete MenuTrans.xml. Then run Lightroom and you'll see the new options under quick develop submenu

Please provide feedback

if you want to use vsco keys with windows you need to download latest version from vsco keys from here - https://github.com/vsco/keys : 

https://github.com/vsco/keys/releases/download/v2.0/vscokeys-2.0-OPENSOURCE-windows.exe.zip

then install it as normal.

next, download and unpack this package for mac os: https://github.com/vsco/keys/files/5722088/VSCOKeys.lrplugin.zip

look for a file "client.lua" and copy- replace it to  C:\Program Files (x86)\vscokeys\VSCOKeys.lrplugin\

then copy folder  and paste it here : C:\Users\%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Modules\

let me know if it works for you :)

What does it do when you install the new version? Are you able to assign a quick develop to a key? When you are in the Library module and have a photo selected, what happens when you press that key?

i will chceck that trial version in a minute...

[Tomala]

i don't know if understand but
for me quick develop is working. i can assign midi key  from context menu "quick develop"

and all lightroom presets are working in quick develop as well.

but when i try to adjust sliders with midi  it goes to develop module...

with vsco keys you can actually move sliders without being in develop module...

but as there are no "vsco keys layout manager" anymore,  and you need to modify everything in text editor. it is not verry difficult.

https://github.com/vsco/keys#creating-your-own-layout-file

sample layout file should be named with extension "whatever.keysjson"

example vsco layout file which work no matter quick or develop module

with pressing "w" on keboard minus 0.25 exposure

with pressing "e" on keyboard add 0,25 exposure

open notepad paste that code save it, modify extension to keysjson imort to vsco keys

{
"name": "Test",
"description": "Test file",
"author": "test user",
"uuid": "test",
"lrVersion": "4",
"modeKey": "53",
"keys":
[

{ "mod":"0", "key":"13", "adj" : {"Exposure2012":"-0.25"} },   

{ "mod":"0", "key":"14", "adj" : {"Exposure2012":"0.25"} }   

]
}

explanation:

"modeKey": "53",  -  this is the keyboard button "ESC" to activate deactivate vsco keys

"lrVersion": "4",  - no matter it works

"mod":"0" - mean no (ctrl shift or alt) are pressed, references kaymap is here keymap (look for imtxcode)

key 13 = "w" on keyboard

key 14 = "e" on keyboard

"adj" -  just need to be like it is

for sliders:

{"Exposure2012":"-0.25"} } reference is here toolkit  you can change value amount

for presets:

{"_SetPreset":"presetfoldername/presetname"} }

remember that after last command there must be no comma "," 

!!!   remember to always have a copy of your text file as vsco keys after importing it, deleting it.
