Great that the Antivirus program issue is corrected. I can now export and view HTML5 Safari format using 7.20.5850 Beta.

New problem:

• Mouse drag does NOT work with Windows 7 and Safari Browser unless you move from default zoom first.
• Mouse drag DOES work with Windows XP and Safari Browser.

Not sure what happens with Windows Vista as I no longer have that operating system on any of my computers.

HTML5 Security:

• It is terribly easy to steal a complete panorama via Safari right mouse click "save image as"

Mouse Cursor:

• I would like to see a proper interactive cursor set when using HTML5 Safari Compliant Viewer (SCV) panoramas via Safari browser on a PC or Mac.

Context Menu Options:

• Again, this is a missing feature with SCV (Safari Compliant Viewer).

Panoweaver 7.2 publish to _flash when using an Equirectangular image fails when uploaded to a server.

Converting to Cubic (which then creates tiles) instead of 1 single file it seems to work fine.

This could simply be a file size limitation with an Equirectangular image but it would be nice to know the answer.

I'm having real trouble coming to grips on what is happening here.

A follow Panoweaver user has contacted me stating after upload he only get the message "To view virtual tour properly, Flash Player 9.0.28 or later version is needed. Please download the latest version of Flash Player and install it on your computer" Even though the latest version of Flash is installed.

See this Panoguide thread

I downloaded the tour and can view it locally. Uploaded it to my own server and I get the same result. See www.omnipix.net/temp/mr_jones

So I decided to test my own. When I publish I get multiple images to make up the panorama in the scene folder (1) even though I do NOT have the tile box checked. The "mr_jones" sample only have 1 image in the scene folder.

Then I decided to test with the "tile" box checked and still get the exact same output. 32 images in the scene folder. These tests are all from a 8000x4000 Equirectangular 16 bit .tif panorama image.

So now I make 3 panorama of the same scene.

www.omnipix.net/temp/8000/8000.html = 8000x4000

Resized to 7000x3500

www.omnipix.net/temp/7000/7000.html = 7000x3500

Resized to 6000x3000

www.omnipix.net/temp/6000/6000.html = 6000x3000

The 8000x4000 has the 32 images in the scene folder where as the 7000x3500 and 6000x3000 have a single image in the scene folder. I "guess" this is a automatic switch that happens when we exceed a certain size? None had the "tile" box checked for publish.

You will have noticed that the Easypano "loader" fails to work with all of these apart from a static graphic - so there is another issue.

My test earlier that either displays the "you need to install flash" message or freezes Opera browser completely is at www.omnipix.net/temp/panoweaver_7.2

Happy to hear what your experience is with these loading and displaying.

Regards, Smooth

Hi Smooth,

"Panoweaver 7.2 publish to _flash when using an Equirectangular image fails when uploaded to a server." -- Can you tell me what is the resolution of this Equirectangular image? Do you mean after uploading the Flash pano files to server, the pano fails to load

Regards,
Jenny Zhao from Easypano

Jenny,

The "no show" appears to be because of the naming of the swfObject.js file vs the way it is written up in the javascript in the .html file that Mr Jones' version of Panoweaver produces when published swfObject.js vs swfobject.js

This breaks the syntax on UNIX servers and a very well trodden path. I have lost count on the amount of times I personally have mentioned: No CAPS, no spaces, a-z, A_Z, 0-9 English characters only. No special characters or parenthesis etc.

We have scene this with "Scene vs scene" folders. It is not the customers responsibility to spend hours attempting to find these inexcusable bugs through sloppy coding.

Many hours of testing, raising questions and asking support for help.

Dorin, pointed me in this direction via his comments on the Panoguide forum thread that Jonesy started. I found the error and put the change into place and now at least on my server the panorama finally loads for Mr Jones.

The upshot is: for users of Panoweaver you should compare the difference and make sure what shows in the .html file is the same naming for the swfobject.js and make the changes to match them.

After testing the latest release of Panoweaver 7.2 mine both match the mixed case swfObject.js
