• Hello

    Firstly apologies if this is not the correct way to register a bug - please advise the correct method

    Bug Details
    =========

    <contextmenu enterfs="Fullscreen" exitfs="Exit Fullscreen">
    <item name="example" caption="xabout" onclick="aboutus();" />
    </contextmenu>

    To reproduce the bug change the text for the caption to "about" - the item will no longer appear on the context menu.
    I have tried different strings - it appears that "about" in this context is a reserved word.

    If this is verified and a specific issue rather than a general one then I feel a simple documentation update would suffice. I spent several hours
    debugging this one as a missing item is not easily or quickly identified as being due to a specific choice of characters for what is simply a text label.

  • Hi,

    thanks for reporting that!

    But this is not a krpano bug - it's the Flashplayer itself how is filtering out that item.

    I have to say I was also not aware of that, but I have looked up now the Flashplayer documentation regarding that and found this - look there for 'Restrictions':
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPla…xtMenuItem.html


    and I have added a note and a link to that now also in the krpano documentation:
    https://krpano.com/docu/xml/#contextmenu

    Best regards,
    Klaus

  • Thanks for the rapid response Klaus,

    I think the documentation you have added closes this issue.

    My main concern is that this problem can take a long time to diagnose, people who have not used flash directly may
    assume that a caption is only a label for the user to read and therefore provided that it only contains "valid" characters
    then the code should not really care what the contents are.

    I only managed to debug this by a process of methodical elimination and even when I had isolated a working case and a non-working
    case I still found it difficult to believe that this was the problem because I had assumed that a caption was simply a human readable label and that the contents
    should not be of interest to the code.

    A newbie programmer might not have got to the bottom of this one - thankfully I have twenty years pro programming behind
    me and I am used to using a patient and methodical process of decomposition and elimination when intuition or knowledge fails to find the answer.

    I must say that it is early days for me with Krpano but so far I have nothing else but praise for your methodical, well thought out system, I have recently started
    with another piece of software (for stitching) from a different source and I can only say I wish that they had the same eye for detail, usability, logic and consistency
    that I feel you have, I feel that Krpano is a professionally and well designed, well written piece of software.

    This gives me confidence in basing my commercial activities around your code instead of the competition.

    Kind regards
    Jonnie.
