Upload of Full-Size Retina images won’t work

    Dear Jordy,

    I’m using your plugins WP/LR Sync and Perfect Images + Retina Pro together.
    I have a lot of logos to publish, so I manage them in Lightroom. They generally have a width of 1600px and were imported to Lightroom with the @2x.png convention.
    The WP/LR Sync Publishing Service is configured so to not change the image file names as well as to not resize, so that they would keep the convention upon uploading and be uploaded in maximum available size.

    I expected, according to your tutorial found here, that Perfect Images would take the original file upload and create all images and all Retina images from it.

    Instead, the @ was stripped from the filename, the @2x convention got lost, and my install and Perfect Images + Retina now beliefs the original file uploaded is not the Retina Full-Size, but just the Full-Size.

    Trying uploading it via Media/ Add New/ Upload New Retina image gives me an error, e.g. like

    Couldn’t read the uploaded file: phplEmO5QH.png

    , whereas the letters after the php changes with every trial on uploading an image.

    Can you help?
    Am I wrong somewhere?

    Follow up to this:
    Uploading an image via WP/LR Sync, the

    @

    inside a

    @2x name convention

    is removed.
    This does not happen if I upload the image via the WP-built-in uploader.

    Does this prevent Perfect Images + Retina from considering the uploaded version as a “Full-Size Retina”?

    Thanks again for any help.

    Hi,

    I gave you a longer reply through 1-1 support, but I would like just to mention here that I basically don’t recommend using WP/LR Sync to transport Retina images, it’s not meant for that exactly ?? It’s means to transport the normal image (aka “Full Size” in WordPress), as if you were uploading it on WordPress directly. The filename is chosen by Lightroom and/or WordPress depending on your settings; WP/LR Sync doesn’t really choose the filename.
