Hello everyone.
Ok, first DEMO available here
http://kpgui.com/demo/download.php

Screencasts:
http://kpgui.com/screencasts/watch.html

How to install:
unpack to somewhere
goto KPGui folder
run KPGui.exe
If you want, you can make *.kpgui (KPGui project files) associated with KPGui.exe - goto File menu and click "Set Associations"
after windows restart *.kpgui files will opens with KPGui.exe.

There is smal example in KPGui/EXAMPLES/simple_tour folder.


HOW IT WORKS:
Build your tour as you want.
Just add tags, edit attributes and see what you done.

Available two viewport mode tour preview and edit mode.
In edit mode you can drag plugins and hotspots.
If you working in preview mode - you need to update preview to see changes.
In edit mode you see changes immediately.



All tags based on templates.
For example:
tag "plugin" has attribute name and url.
Template "plugin" has same attributes name and url.

If you need additional attribute, for example new_y, you juast add this attribute to plugin template, then all plugins from this template will have attribute new_y.
You can add any templates.
You can copy from existing templates and modify them.

Try it in Tags Templates Editor (menu Project)


currently I'm working on pano add wizards for automaticaly build image tag and sphere to cube and sphere to multyres conversion.
And other many things.


Hope you will love it


Regards
Andrey


PS - try, and give me feedback mail @ atlas-is.ru

Hi!

Zitat von »klaus.krpano«

btw - maybe should do post also some first-steps introduction to explain the first basic usage,

Thanks Klaus!

Your are right, today i will post short basic usage help.

Zitat von »Zephyr«

Alsoo the link in the about goes to http://webpokaz.ru/ and kpgui.com is dead for me

Thanks Zephyr!
Yes KPGui.com is not ready yet, after DNS update you will see "Under construct" page.
But i will post screencasts there.

Zitat

A typo: display.flash10 values are on and off, not on and of.
Screenshoot = screenshot I think ;p

Thanks, already fixed (
typo - is my BIG problem )

Zitat

Alsoo the plugins defined outside the scene, with keep= true, are not visible in the scene itself (Im talking about the editor, not the output). Is this on purpose?

It's OK, as it should. In edit mode you can see only current scope tags. for example : if scene has 2 plugins and keep set to true, then you will see it only if this scene is active in edit mode. But in preview it will be as normal.

Zitat

However you miss a few "dependencies". For example, display.details only works with display.flash10 = off (same goes for a few other fields). Alsoo you need to update the internal krpano object for some of the properties:

It will be fixed in next update.

Hi!
here is small "how to" and "basic usage" instructions: PART 1

Create New Project ( screencast
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1czzeDGtjs )

1. Menu "File" -> "New Project", or "New Project" buttom in tool bar, or press Ctrl+N
   
2. Choose Template (Currently available "blank" only, but I will add new templates soon, and you can create your own templates)
   
3. Enter Name of the project (main xml will have same name, for example: if name of project is my_tour then xml will be my_tour.xml, NOTE! - you can't publish xml in not registered version)
   
4. Choose "Create In" folder (project and all needed files will created in this folder)
   
5. Enter Description (it's for personal usage, just desription of tour - optionaly
6. Click Ok (that's all, you create you new project, all files copyed and saved)

Tags manage (Tag Inspector - is the tags manage tool)
Common operations is: Add - (ctrl+q), Append - (ctrl+w), Copy - (ctrl+c), Paste - (ctrl+v), Paste and Append - (ctrl+b), Move Up / Down - (ctrl+up/down), Remove - (del)
NOTE - All this operations depends on current tag. For example: you can append new tag to krpano tag but you can't add new tag next to krpano, or you can't add new cube tag in scene, because you can add this tag only to image tag as child.

Add/Append New Tag (difference between Add and Append is - if add, then tag will be added next to current tag. If append, then tag will append to curent tag as child)

1. Click Add/Append Tag button, or press (Add - Ctrl+Q , Append Ctrl+W)
   
2. Choose tag template from list
   
3. Click Ok
   

After that tag will be added to tag tree in tag inspector and will be highlited and current.

Ok, now Tag ready to Editing. You can edit all tag attributes in Attributes Editor.
Move mouse to attribute field and wait for a while, you will see aribute toolltype.
All fileds has usual behaviours (edit, file browse, spinbox, combobox).
Some attrubites has additional button for open edit dialogs (e.q. crop, devices, texteditor ... )
and "Set Default" button.
"Set Default" button - is the small arrow (disable if attribute has default value, and enable if attribute changed)
Click this button for set attribute default value.

Hi!

Zitat von »PanoLx«

And another thing. What should I do to be able to publish my tour and specialy xml files created with KPgui?

KPGui making standard krpano xml. (it's switched off in demo mode )
So, you can publish it as you want.

Zitat von »PanoLx«

that's grate, but still I don't know how to load a project (xml files and images) that never before was edited with KPGui

Currently no way to import ready xml to KPGui, but I plan it in future

Andrey
