Ok, after installing the Microsoft JVM, that corrected the preview.

My other question is, I understand the difference such listed below between 1.25 and 1.3

[+]New activation policy is adopted
[+]More skin templates are available
[+]Virtual tours published from 1.30 can be viewed in JRE 1.5

But! What other advantages are there with 1.30.  I know people had sent in request for bugs that we all found in the 1.25, but I do not see any of those bugs corrected.

For Example:

The auto tour movie.  Unless you resize your images to 315 x 215 you will have to copy and past the movie and click on each image scene and change the zoom level.  This process can take a long time you want to use a higher mega pixel photo and if you have 30 or more pictures.

With 1.3, I see no changes with this problem.

 

Another Example:

Many people request there be a undo button with TW.  I see that was not added into 1.3

Another Example:

Font correction.  You can set your font at 24pt, but when you publish the tour it is more like 18pt.

It seems to me the biggest feature that was added to TW 1.3 was the new activation process.  Which is benefits Easypano and not the customers who have paid a high price for this software.  Maybe it would have been better for Easypano to perfect the software before it worried so much about the activation process.  I truly feel if a company puts out a great product, then people will not mind paying a high price for that software.  Overall, I do like TW, but it is not as user friendly as it should be.

I would like to know what happened to all the requests that TW 1.25 customers sent in for Easypano to fix and correct these problems in TW 1.3

I would like to know if I was the only person that thought there would be some major changes that would fix and correct some of the bugs with 1.25.

WHAT HAPPENED???

I guess if major changes had been made like from PW 3.01 to 4.0, then we would have to pay another high price to upgrade.  Why is 1.3 a free upgrade to 1.25 customers, but PW 4.0 is a major cost upgrade option for PW 3.01 customers?

The reason for the free upgrade is simple and sort of answered in your own post: there are not any significant changes to justify charging.

PW 3 to 4 added some significant new features so justified the new release number and pricing. Whereas TW 1.25 to 1.3 is primarily a "point" upgrade largely to change the activation feature which gave a few problems in PW 4.

My guess is that EasyPano has learned from the PW4 experience and is making sure the activation process works before making changes the code. At least, that what I hope they're doing. It would be nice to hear it from them. Hint, hint...

Just been reading about the new G2 viewer from Immervision.com which enables full screen Java panoramas. If we are going to pay a significant premium for the new TW2 when it is released next year, such an option would be well worth paying for-seems to me a better way forward than ActiveX

I do agree.  It is tough to see all the bugs until you purchase the full verision and use the software for a few weeks, then you start seeing all the little problems.  I do agree with other user, maybe Easypano should consider lowering their price until they have the product more suitable.

Hi, Tourweaver 1.30 is a minor update. The bugs will be fixed in Tourweaver 2.00, which is a major upgrade. We have put all feature requests from our customers in the wishlist of Tourweaver 2.00.

We adopt new activation policy in Tourweaver for two reasons:
1)To fight against piracy and better protect Easypano copyright as well as user's interests.
2)In Panoweaver 4.00, we employ this activation policy. Panoweaver and Tourweaver are both virtual tour creating software. They belong to Virtual Tour Suite package. If they use two different activation mechanism, customers will feel confused.

Maybe it brings some trouble to you. Please accept our apology. We will try our best to perfect all the features in Tourweaver 2.00.

Best regards,
Jane
