This Lightroom Classic plugin opens a file list exported from Zenfolio that is generated into a collection in Lightroom. The image lists are exported from Favorites Lists or Pending Orders. For the best results, image names should be completely unique when first uploaded to Zenfolio.
For this to work, the images must already be indexed within Lightroom. The plugin creates an importable list that is used to reference the images stored in Lightroom.
Only Adobe Lightroom versions 3 and above are supported. Previous versions are not supported for use with this plug-in.
