This Lightroom “Publish” plugin (for Lightroom 3 and later, Win and Mac) allows you to export copies of your Lightroom photos to local disk in a folder hierarchy that mimics either the folder structure of the original master images, or the collection hierarchy you build in the Publish Service.
This might be considered a Publish version of Tim Armes' Tree Exporter plugin, but works in Lr3 only and is “Publish”, not “Export”.
Unlike a normal export, this Publish service allows you to create an ongoing relationship between the photo in Lightroom and the copy on disk. The tree on disk is refreshed for any changes (new images, removed images, and image changes) each time you “Publish”.
Personally, I use this plugin to replicate my whole Lightroom catalog as a tree of small JPEGs on a shared disk that my wife can access from her computer. Allowing her to have immediate and simple access to my photos helps encourage her to put up with the more annoying aspects of my photography (e.g. perpetually waiting for me to catch up when we're out and about, because I'm lingering at some leaf or flower or something to take pictures). As any married photo-hobbyist knows, anything that helps with the SAF(Spousal Acceptance Factor) is a good thing
