Tuur,

Please don't stop! Even though I have done KRPano for a living over the course of the last 10 years, I could not even yet call myself a rank amateur.....but one of the best things that ever came my way on this forum is your "Toolbox." Man, I'll tell you....that single act of generosity on your part is rivaled only by the dogged pursuit of continued excellence by Klaus in making improvements to KRPano itself.

Increasingly, my biggest selling point when cold calling potential clients is that the KRPano viewer is THE ultimate platform for combining and delivering any and all multimedia types for viewing on any device. I'm convinced that this approach will continue to gain sway!

I'm not ashamed to say that I have never owned a piece of apple technology....and I don't always visit this forum regularly to see all of your clever innovations, but the things that you experiment with are so interesting and instructional... even when viewed on a PC. I suspect that many members of this forum have held back on providing what to you would be valuable feedback regarding glitches on PCs, because they feel like they don't wish to reproach you.

I think I may be speaking for many when I say that you are so far advanced in this.....that my eyes glaze over when trying to understand the innovations you are seemingly able turn out "on a dime."

I hope I am again speaking for the many when I say that most of us remember what we saw....and who created it...and we intend to get back to it just as soon as our level of competence allows us to seize the day on things that you have demonstrated.....for FREE...in this awesome open source environment. I'm buying you a beer today. Look for it on paypal! Cheers, Reggie

It has been many years since I initiated this string. I was fortunate to interact directly with Umalo shortly after my first post and he generously supplied me with this code to try and enable the tab key navigation between scenes and "N" key navigation between hotspots within scenes:

<events name="tab" keep="true"
		
		onkeydown="
		if(keycode == '9', 	skin_nextscene_loop(+1));
		if(keycode == '78', hotspots_nexthotspot_n(+1));" 		
		
		onnewpano="set(newhotspotindex,-1);add(lasthotspotindex, get(hotspot.count), -1);"		
	 />
		
	<action name="hotspots_nexthotspot_n">
		add(newhotspotindex, newhotspotindex , %1);						
		if(newhotspotindex LT 0, copy(newhotspotindex,lasthotspotindex));
		if(newhotspotindex GT lasthotspotindex, set(newhotspotindex,0));		
		looktohotspot(get(hotspot[get(newhotspotindex)].name),get(view.fov));		
	</action>

	<action name="skin_nextscene_loop">
		add(newsceneindex, scene[get(xml.scene)].index, %1);
		sub(lastsceneindex, scene.count, 1);
		if(newsceneindex LT 0, copy(newsceneindex,lastsceneindex));
		if(newsceneindex GT lastsceneindex, set(newsceneindex,0));
		layer[skin_thumbs].scrolltocenter(get(scene[get(newsceneindex)].thumbx), get(scene[get(newsceneindex)].thumby));
		loadscene(get(scene[get(newsceneindex)].name),null,get(skin_settings.loadscene_flags),get(skin_settings.loadscene_blend));
	</action>

I tried to utilize this in one of my projects and it only partially worked. I used the free NVDA screen reader software to evaluate Umalo's adjusted accessibility feature in that tour....and joined the NVDA forum to learn more about how the visually impaired community feels about panoramic imagery in general. Having said this, I noticed when viewing the project in Microsoft Edge, the NVDA screen reader would (sometimes) pronounce in quick succession all of the scene titles that were in the thumbnail container.

If the focus of the tour could be programmed to automatically go to the thumbnail container....and then name off thumbs text in succession when using the screen reader....it might be the best place to start for providing accessibility to the projects I have created with KRPano.

I have looked at Google Street view images using the screen reader....and if there is a way to get it to read off the names of the street view scenes, I have not discovered it. How can I write an action that will steer initial focus to the text in the thumbnails so that it will name all of the scenes in the thumbs container from beginning to end...in all browsers? Are there any other ideas out there about how to make our tours more accessible to the visually impaired?

Klaus....in a world where a fledgling behemoth like "Open AI" uses the "open source" motif as a ploy to pave the way for making tons of money, you are the gold standard at what has been called "effective altruism." Your grace in doing so is more enviable than your genius!

This plugin is absolutely awesome! Having the ability to add numerous galleries that combine zoomable still images, downloadable documents and youtube videos gives anyone the advantage of being able to integrate media being produced by their customers on a continuous basis into their KRPano panoramic projects. I am grateful to Alexander for the innovations in all of his plugins...and for making them available at such a reasonable price. Moreover, enough can't be said about the genius and generosity of Klaus for making this amazing platform he invented Open Source!

Tuur created a link to an awesome add-in that he calls the "Toolbox." If you the choose "Numbers" item on the tools list you could drag your map to where top of map is level with top of the stage or screen. Press L to get a pop-up of the values and use the vlookat value. I think this will help. Here's the link to Turr's Toolbox: https://krpano.com/forum/wbb/inde…olbox#post74910

Klaus,

This tool is awesome. Thank you!

San,

Thank you for sharing this. It is a very useful tool! Is there a way to play a panovideo (360 video) inside of the viewer? When I try, it plays as the 360 video flat. I noticed in your example earlier in the string that the Klaus panovideo example was playing in the TV on the wall. But it, too, was playing only as a flat video with no interactivity. Thank you again - Reggie

Ha! You're so right Tuur. There's nothing more relaxing than watching Bob Ross!

Quote from Mael B.

Thanks Mael!

I use Panomaster's original plugin much....and your improvements are awesome. I'm going to use this today! Thank you for improving and sharing an already valuable tool!

Cheers, Reggie

Simple is a relative term. It took me hours to figure out how to correctly implement the code generated by this tool, but I am so happy that I worked on it....and I'm very grateful that you were generous enough to take the time to develop it...and share it!

Cheers! Reggie

I have used dead links in Caps as Combobox items to serve as subheadings to separate a list of parks by region (NORTH, SOUTH, etc.) Is there a way to change the font color or background color for only those items (item 2, item 13, item 21, item 34, item 53 in the list below) to distinguish those subheadings?

Thanks, Reggie

The new combobox is awesome, but in new build, despite using "tooltips_mapspots="true" in skin settings, the mapspot tooltips are not showing on mouseover for Google Maps.
Also worth mentioning is that I get an error message when opening the new Tour Editor that says "plugins/scrollarea.js failed to load (0)" even though the scrollarea.js is in the plugins folder. Once hotspots are added to the panos using the editor, they show a tooltip on mouseover, but mapspots do not.

I really need tooltips for the mapspots in this project and would be gratefui to learn of a solution or workaround for this.

Regards, Reggie

San,

For those of us who are not "coders," something like this is truly a gift. I will buy this when you are ready to sell it!

Cheers, Reggie

Thanks Pur!

Thanks Man! Very generous of you to share this....it works like a charm!

Cheers, Reggie

Pete,

Umalo posted this https://krpano.com/forum/wbb/inde…image#post54665 I'm not sure about the fading part, but I have used this a number of times. Here is an example w/o the fade: http://www.photographyoptions.net/images/milford/tour.html .

The guy voted for the gallery! This is my wife's brother.
Thanks for your feedback!

This is so creative! Thanks for sharing San!
