Topic: Too long not used

Hi,

This is because I have not been using the app lately, sorry up front.
I have set up JB some time ago to be working straight from Adobe LR through the plugin.
The setup allowed for a simple workflow:
-add pictures to a catalog
-only once per month change the preferred directory of my website to be installed
-upload the pictures onto my website with one click

As I have not been using it a longer time, I checked the download site from JB to find a newer version. I downloaded it and wanted to install it. Reading around learned that I installed it before by manually copying the provided directory to C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Web Galleries\ (as I use Windows 7)
I rename the available juicebox_pro.lrwebengine to juicebox_proOLD.lrwebengine before this.

When I now restart LR the settings I had until now are all forgotten :(
Can anyone give me a hint how to get these back, so I do not have to re-configure everything new, I already forgot all my settings I had until now.
EDIT: Been active, got most settings back.

In LR6, it shows that Plugin 1.4.3.0 is still active, this I do not understand.
EDIT: A restart of my PC solved this, now I see the latest version.

And the main question why I wanted a newer version is actually 'forgotten':
-LR is forgetting my settings of my preferred directory on my FTP server.
-until a few months ago, I usually enter the preferred directory at the start of a month and upload each time I have new pictures in my catalog. As a result the site is renewed for that very month each time I upload.
-but now, when I leave the WEB tab and go f.e. to DEVELOP, the next time I enter WEB I notice that again the settings are forgotten and I see a "photos" directory to be where my preferred directory used to be
EDIT: Also this seem to have been a setting in my 'old' LR6 and Plugin combination. At the moment this is working correct.

I hope that anyone can give me a hint, thanks in advance,
Ruud

Re: Too long not used

OK, I solved my main issue also.
I thought I was allowed to write a Subfolder like 2016/January inside the plugin window.
It is working and storing the files correctly, but the next time this is replaced by "photos".

After I changed the main folder in the FTP settings, this was working correctly again.

So I am up and running again, leaving me only for a small wish to somehow save the settings I have in my LR plugin for future usage, is this possible somewhere ?

Re: Too long not used

It sounds like you have been able to resolve most of your problems.

Can anyone give me a hint how to get these back, so I do not have to re-configure everything new, I already forgot all my settings I had until now.
EDIT: Been active, got most settings back.

Unfortunately, I don't know of an easy way to reinstate interface settings from a previous version of the plugin.

n LR6, it shows that Plugin 1.4.3.0 is still active, this I do not understand.
EDIT: A restart of my PC solved this, now I see the latest version.

Restarting Lightroom with the new plugin in place should have been enough (there should have been be no need to reboot your computer) but I'm glad you've got the new version up and running.

-but now, when I leave the WEB tab and go f.e. to DEVELOP, the next time I enter WEB I notice that again the settings are forgotten and I see a "photos" directory to be where my preferred directory used to be
EDIT: Also this seem to have been a setting in my 'old' LR6 and Plugin combination. At the moment this is working correct.

I'm glad that things seem to have settled down and that you have reinstated your settings.
If you continue to experience difficulties, please let me know and I'll try to help out if I can.
