Regenerate xml/html without reprocessing images?

  • I'm working on a project with many, large, multi-resolution panoramas (300+). I need to make frequent changes to the xml and html templates. Is it possible to regenerate those files without reprocessing all of the images which takes a long time and isn't necessary (the images aren't changing)??

  • I'm passing in unique parameters for each xml file through krpanotools using the xmltemplate_var command line argument, so this solution would not really work me unfortunately. Thanks for the suggestion

  • Just open the resultant xml/html in each project. Some editors can do a find/replace across all open documents which makes things like that easier.

    Find/Replace is just a fantastic tool. At least on mac. I use standard texteditor or TextWrangler.

    I just looked for a way to disable level 4 in a tour to cut the size down to 1/3 .

    Turned out to be very easy both by using search i finder to move the images of level 4 and also doing it in the xml by replacing the first and last part of level 4 with this in all 82 panos.

    <!--<level tiledimagewidth="4096"

    %s/l4/%v/l4_%s_%v_%h.jpg" />
    </level> -->

    codes <image type="CUBE" multires="true" tilesize="512">
    <!--<level tiledimagewidth="4096" tiledimageheight="4096">
    <cube url="panos/19-1.tiles/%s/l4/%v/l4_%s_%v_%h.jpg" />
    </level> -->
    <level tiledimagewidth="2048" tiledimageheight="2048">
    <cube url="panos/19-1.tiles/%s/l3/%v/l3_%s_%v_%h.jpg" />
    </level>
    <level tiledimagewidth="1024" tiledimageheight="1024">
    <cube url="panos/19-1.tiles/%s/l2/%v/l2_%s_%v_%h.jpg" />
    </level>
    <level tiledimagewidth="512" tiledimageheight="512">
    <cube url="panos/19-1.tiles/%s/l1/%v/l1_%s_%v_%h.jpg" />
    </level>
    </image>

  • Unfortunatelly on my new iMac Retina with Yosemites search has been disabled so that you can not just choose to search a single folder.

    However I found the solution. Just drop the folder to the Favorites bar and you can now choose it and search it alone.
