Smug Syncback Release notes

Update notice:
Please ensure "Check for updates upon startup" is enabled in Plugin Manager and update when neccessary.

2022-03-12 Version 1.5
* Two new settings if you have many images out of sync:
* Sync page size (default 200 - limited by app memory)
* Commit each page separately (default ON - before: off)
* Fix error when album was empty.
* Log and display any error getting album image.
* Correct info on how to report any crash.

2019-03-07 Version 1.4
* Fix: It is now possible to sync 5000 changed photos shown in the interactive dialog without crashing LR. Changes are divided in pages of up to 200 photos in each and the changes are committed after the last page.
* API errors due to overloaded servers pause the sync operation letting you retry or abort.
* Any other API error during sync is displayed in a warning dialog and the operation is aborted.
* API error 401 Unauthorized has a very clear explanation of cause and remedy.
* API error 401 Unauthorized no longer automatically forgets credentials.

2018-03-31 Version 1.3 Beta
* Fix: Removed apparent sync limit of 100 photos per gallery. Maximum is now 5000. A very large number of photos or changes may however slow down your computer or even crash LR during sync.

2017-04-06 Version 1.2 Beta
* Fix: Keyword sync handles many more non-alphanumeric characters that differ between LR and SmugMug, such as "/".

2017-04-06 Version 1.1 Beta

2017-04-04 Version 1.0 Beta
* Feature: Keyword sync, much anticipated. Syncs added or removed keywords from SmugMug to LR (or the other way). A dialog gives you a preview and perfect control of the sync actions. See File, Plugin Extras, Synchronize keywords.
