Could you try to replace MLExportServiceProvider.lua with this version : https://bitbucket.org/kichetof/lr_cr2hdr/raw/b92125f660783c6bfd4bd44b8debf9af15153e41/MLExportServiceProvider.lua

Yes after changing this lua a Lightroom error come "unable to move the file" because the import and the export folder are the same.

After trying the modified version, could you try this one https://bitbucket.org/kichetof/lr_cr2hdr/raw/9cfa2803f006fd17af6cb6731415a61fa014fe2c/MLExportServiceProvider.lua
and let me know ! I replaced move by copy

After copy this lua File i became a Error "unable to copy the file" the same like above same Import / Export folder

My Folder form the CR Files is on Volume G:\...\DUAL_ISO - DNG\ The Error come always on the Volume C:\

Why export AdobeRGB? 0k, this is non-bayer, but why tag it?

Anyway, I had some free time so I took the liberty to translate correctly to pt-br:

What happened? I installed v2 now it creates to a temp folder but then it's not available! Creates the dng file but then when I try to develop "Folder could not be found" am I missing something? What am I doing wrong? My workflow is doomed! LOL

Switching back to 1.03! You're still the man Kich! With all this help, and your hard work, i'm sure this problem will be solved in no time!

Okay thanks for the report! It's the move/copy functions that is problematic on windows only... always windows, always...

Why export AdobeRGB? 0k, this is non-bayer, but why tag it?

Do you prefer sRGB or ProPhoto ? I think is the best profil for export to cr2hdr, but if you think it's not, tell me the best

Many thanks for your corrections! I'll add on the next stable version

[kichetof]

There must be something wrong. in LR (5.3, Mac 10.9.2) I get this errors on plugin loading:

Plug-in error log for plug-in at: /Users/xxxx/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/Modules/cr2hdr.lrplugin

**** Error 1

An error occurred while attempting to run one of the plug-in’s scripts.
Could not load toolkit script: MLFunctions

**** Error 2

Could not load the post-processing filter from this plug-in.
Could not load toolkit script: MLFunctions

Very strange ! I've the same configuration, I'll investigate why you have this error.

The copy/move fail on windows, maybe you have this problem

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Windows, windows, windows .......

I think I found why it's bug! my custom functions is not loaded... I need to found how to read it!


====================================================

Please try to replace MLExportServiceProvider.lua with this version. It works on my windows.. I really need a Windows VM at home

[kichetof]

V2.0.12 to download Try and report me if it works (... or not

forget to update portuguese correction, 2.0.2 now up to date

[Luiz Roberto dos Santos]

Do you prefer sRGB or ProPhoto ? I think is the best profil for export to cr2hdr, but if you think it's not, tell me the best

Well, in my work process I try to keep as much detail in the process. ProPhotoRGB is known to be the larger of the known color spaces (not counting the tangential wide gammut, etc.).
But, I think the engine Lightroom has its own color space, called Melissa RGB, which does not restrict or limit the colors, keeping the information in full.

Many thanks for your corrections! I'll add on the next stable version

"With v2, you can't import into a subfolder. I can add a field to add a custom name to create a new subfolder on the top folder"

Hehe, I like the sound lf that

You can now!

[mad.eos]

You sir... I take off my hat... Great job!! It now works!! Thank you! 

[LazR]

I have reread the topic numerous times in hopes of finding an answer, but could not find one. I have installed OSX_cr2hdr as per the instruction, and I run cr2hdr, which is in my Applications folder, before starting Lightroom, but I continue to receive Error #11 when trying to export a single Dual ISO image. The plugin appears to be installing correctly through the plugin manager as well as manually (tried numerous times).

Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? Your help is greatly appreciated.

Running on:
Lightroom 5.3
Mac OS X 10.7.5
cr2hdr.2.1

[kichetof]

Hi LazR,

Could you try to run cr2hdr into a terminal a paste the output. Maybe I'll can determine what the problem is with that.

[LazR]

Thank you your time and help, Kichetof. Sorry, as I am quite the newb when it comes to all of this, so perhaps I am not completely understanding your request.

I opened the GUI version of cr2hdr Beta 2.0 app in terminal (open -a /Applications/cr2hdr.app/ 140327-092716-0001.CR2) and it simply opens the app and processes the CR2 dual iso file perfectly. There was no output afterwards in Terminal. Only the saved text file for the image processed (info below) was included in the folder with the new DNG file.

I was able to process the dual iso files like this before. It is just in your plugin that I still get the Error #11. Could this be related to your Lightroom plugin not finding the cr2hdr app? Should I have another version of cr2hdr on my Mac instead? Perhaps the binary version in /usr/bin folder instead. I have tried both of the versions of your plugin listed on the beginning of this post and both are giving me the same #11 Error.

I appreciate your help.

So strange!

The plugin work well, but the execute command for cr2hdr doesn't works...

Could you uninstall the plugin, install this version and paste the output log (normally MLDualISO.txt into your home folder or documents folder). You can replace your username/name if you want but keep space if present.

I hope I'll solve your problem quickly!

[Danne]

V2.1

You can now!

Will try this asap!

*Nice one! Creates a subfolder and puts them in there nice and with options keeping logs or not. Real nice. Truly grateful for your work on this! Big thanks

Maybe there are some restriction in 10.7.5 but it's too old and my head doesn't remember...

When you launched cr2hdr into a terminal in my last request, do you use cr2hdr exec from my plugin or from another one ?

I think you might be on to something here, Kitchetof. I originally ran the cr2hdr APP that was included in the zip file in OSX_cr2hdr. As a standalone application, dropping the CR2 files into the window will convert them properly as DNG files. Now, when trying the cr2hdr exec in your application or any other version I could find in the Mac terminal, I keep getting an Illegal instruction: 4. From what I read online, this error has to do with code that is not compatible with an older OS X version. Strange that the cr2hdr APP works perfectly, though. Hmmmm...

I will upgrade my system to OS X Maverick and report back if the problem continues. Thank you so much for your time and assistance. It is greatly appreciated.

[kichetof]

The cr2hdr app on my plugin was build on my system (Mac 10.9.2) and maybe I'll have to enable something to be backward compatible.

I'll read how to build with backward compatibility. Thanks for your feedback

FYI - I pulled the cr2hdr exec from the package content of the cr2hdr gui app that works with my system and even that one gives me the same error when executing it in the Mac terminal.

uh ?! When you run outside LR it works, but in my plugin no.

Which command do you use into the terminal ?

could you run "ls -l" on the folder where cr2hdr for the plugin is. It's really strange

Good news is that upgrading the OS X to Maverick did the trick. Your wonderful plugin is working beautifully now.
