THUMBNAILS ON MAKE VTOUR (MULTI-RES) DROPLET

mjamesfabian · July 15, 2012 at 10:37 AM

Hi is there anyway to make the thumbnails display in "Grid" mode by default?
I'm using the Make VTOUR (Multi-res) Droplet, it provides a collection of thumbnails at the bottom left of the pano but you need to click it first to expand into GRID mode. I want it to load automatically in GRID mode. Please can anybody help.
Thanks!

Hi,

look into the 'buildthumbs' action - there you see these lines:

Code

set(plugin[get(thumbname)].width,  40);
set(plugin[get(thumbname)].height, 40);
mul(plugin[get(thumbname)].x, i,3);
mul(plugin[get(thumbname)].y, i,3);
add(plugin[get(thumbname)].x, 5);
add(plugin[get(thumbname)].y, 5);

these lines are setting the startup size and position of the thumbs:

i = the index of the thumb (0-n)

the position will be calculated that way (by default):
x = i*3 + 5
y = i*3 + 5

change that maybe to:
x = 5
y = i*45 + 5

as code:

Code

set(plugin[get(thumbname)].x, 5);


mul(plugin[get(thumbname)].y, i, 45);
add(plugin[get(thumbname)].y, 5);

then all thumbs will be aligned in a column form,

and finally change the onclick event of the thumbs to directly load the scene instead of changing the thumb positions,

change that line:

Code

set(plugin[get(thumbname)].onclick, openthumbs() );

to

Code

set(plugin[get(thumbname)].onclick, loadscene(get(linkedscene),null,MERGE,BLEND(1)); );

Best regards,
Klaus
