How to make Flash galleries show more than 500 pictures?
You need to modify the Flash template. This is at
- Windows: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.x\Shared\webengines\default_flash.lrwebengine
- Mac: Applications\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom [version]\Shared\webengines\default_flash.lrwebengine
Copy that lrwebengine to
- Windows: C:\Users[user]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\LightroomWeb Galleries
- Mac: [user]\Library\Application Support\Adobe\LightroomWeb Galleries
Open the file galleryInfo.lrweb in a text editor. Notepad is fine on Windows, or TextEdit on Mac where you may need to right click the lrwebengine and select “Show Package Contents” to get to the file itself.
Look at line 21 and replace the following lines with this:
title = LOC “$$$/WPG/Templates/Flash/Bluefire1=Lightroom Flash Gallery > 500”,
id = “com.adobe.wpg.flash.bluefire1modified”,
galleryType = “Flash”,
groupPath = “resources/mediaGroupData/group.xml”,
mainSWF = “resources/gallery.swf”,
maximumGallerySize = 50000,
Hi John Ive tried it in LR5 but dons seem to work, any ideas mate?
No idea. It seems to work in 5.7 here.
Hi there – I’ve tried to edit this file but I don’t see anywhere in the code where it has any information about the gallery cap.
I’ve done this before, on an older version…not sure why I can’t find it now.
I used the latter instructions by SamR … Halp?
Easy way – search for where the number 500 occurs.
To the article writer- you sir, are a superstar. This is such an elementary thing, but info to sort it out is few and far between. Also a quick note to say I couldn’t find the first file by your instructions, but found it here:
/Applications/Adobe Lightroom 3.app/Contents/PlugIns/Web.lrmodule/Contents/Resources/galleries/ (note the version number after “Adobe Lightroom” and “lrmodule” not “agmodule”). You can edit the file directly.
best,
Sam.
Just tried that and file galleryInfo.lrweb.lua cannot be found on my computer at all.

On Windows 7 the program files folder is usually hidden. Maybe you need to access it as an administrator?
