Hi San7 !!

The example you kindly shared allows to use a Krpano-type layer as a unique map that can be linked to multiple scenes belonging to that map.

However, if there are multiple maps for other scenes, I'm having a hard time adapting that same example.

Could you share something like scene1 and 2 -> map A and scene 2 and 3 -> map B, where map A and B are Krpano-type layers used as maps?

Thank very much

Hi Vasiliii, thank you for your response. The Canon EOS 1100 has an EF-S mount, and that lens doesn't mention that mount on its official website. Are you or someone you know using that equipment? Is some kind of adapter required? Please, do you have a link to the lens so I can check the specifications?

Best regards,

Fdo

Thanks jeromebg. Please, can you give more information? Especific model camera and lens, mounts. Is this equipment that you yourself have used or use?

Best regards,

Fdo.

Thank you Woiferl for the valuable information and link.

I started with 5 horizontal photos as indicated in the table in the link and then I became a little conservative with 6. I need to continue investigating and testing, but I would also like to see examples from other people with a 4.5mm lens and an APS-C camera.

Best regards.

Hi Woiferl, thanks for your answer but Canon RP is a full-frame camera that costs $800 USD. I'm looking for a solution with an APS-C sensor camera.

what is the resolution you aim for? 10000x5000 ? 20000x10000 ?

Hi, kme, I need only 7000x3500 or 6000x3000

Hi, now in 2025... What camera and lens combination do you recommend for acceptable quality at the lowest price? New equipment, not used.

I'd like to be able to make panoramas with at least 4 photos. Currently, I need 7, not counting exposure variations. (Canon APS-C 1000d or 40d + Rokinon 8mm lens). On the other hand, I haven't seen single-shot cameras with the quality and features of a basic DSLR, or they are very expensive.

Hi, klaus, thanks. Of course, you're absolutely right. Safety comes first.

Hi Klaus. Would it be possible (in a future version), since there's a user key, to decrypt files encrypted only with Custom Encrypt?

Best regards,

Fdo

Maybe if everyone needs it, I can create a page here and post it for general use )

Yes, please. thanks very much

Hi sexta, very interesting post, until now I had not worried about aligning the .jpg image and only did it in the .xml code. I see that with minimal effort the image is adjusted.

Hi Klaus, thanks to your help I ruled out any problems related to krpano.

The solution was

1) clean the Windows registry with regedit

2) remove registration -> register again

3)restore defaults of krpano tools.

Best regards,

Fernando

Hi Klaus, thanks for your quick reply.

I'm pretty sure I used PRIVATE and not PUBLIC. Could you please check that it's not a krpano tools error?

I can make a video illustrating the whole process. By the way, is it necessary to encrypt the plugins folder and the tour.js file? I did it that way and I can reproduce everything in the video.

Hi, Klaus when I try to generate a viewer (tour.js) with the first option "Allow loading only private-key encrypted xml and plugin files" it create the tour.js which give the following error to run index.html: "FATAL ERROR:tour.xml - loading failed! decoding error"

Please, I need your help to solve this

Thanks Klaus,

So it's like if I encrypt a .zip file with a key and send it to someone. If they don't have the key they can't open it.

In the case of krpano it's for sharing plugins with other users or publishing a project for certain users who have or know the key, otherwise they wouldn't be able to open it.

That's what I understood Is that so?

Hi, krpano generates .html file like "krpano.html" that you can rename to "index.html". Put your krpano project in a folder like myfolder. From your software build a menu with hypertext or buttons that point to myfolder/index.html

Thank you, your post allows me to understand what happened. This type of attack is an act of evil against one of the best and most positioned projects in the world. I would like to express my solidarity and admiration for Klaus and his brilliant work that will not be overshadowed by any hacker.

I've thought about the custom-key-encrypted issue. I have some ideas / questions:

1) Maybe it should be possible to encrypt everything, including krpano plugins, with a custom key to avoid confusion. That would be in the "Encrypt Tool" section. On the other hand, in the "Protect Tool" section, an option like "Allow loading only custom-key encrypted xml and plugin files" could be added.

2) I can understand that a custom key is more secure than a private key in the sense that the custom key doesn't store any information about the license, but if I'm not a plugin developer and I only have the projects online (I don't distribute them) would I really need a custom key?

Anyway, I'd like to fully understand the use of a custom key.

I would greatly appreciate your comments.

Best regards

Fernando

Hi Klaus, (and krpano people)

Before the "Custom" option was available in Encrypt Tool I simply encrypted everything that could be encrypted with the Encrypt Tool -> Encryption key -> Private option and everything came out encrypted, even the krpano plugins.

Then in Protect Tool I selected "Allow loading only private-key encrypted xml and plugins files" and thus created a protected Viewer that could only load files encrypted with the Private option, which were all those that could be encrypted.

Now there is the "Custom" option: EncrypTool->Encryption Key->MyEncrytion But with that option I can't encrypt everything, since as you yourself clarified there are plugins that need "Private" encryption and don't accept "Custom" encryption.

So if you can't encrypt everything with "Custom" encryption when you try to generate a viewer you can't use the "Allow loading only private-key encrypted xml and plugin files" option because you have encrypted with a "Custom" option and not with a "Private" option and in any case there are files like the krpano plugins that couldn't be encrypted with the "Custom" option.

So the generated viewer only has the "Embed Custom Encryption / Decryption Keys" option.

In summary

1- How should files be encrypted and protected, including krpano plugins? That is, if you wanted to use the "Custom" option and not the "Private" option.

(By the way, "Decryption Keys" in the "Embed Custom Encryption / Decryption Keys" option, what does it mean? Can I decrypt files encrypted with Custom Encryption? If so, how?)

Thanks very much for your help.

Best regards.

Thanks Klaus. My current html looks like:

<script>

embedpano({xml:"tour.xml", target="pano", passQueryParameters: "startscene,startlookat"});

<scrpt>

(I can't see passQueryParameters:"true")

Then I should change it to:

<script>

embedpano({xml:"tour.xml", target="pano", passQueryParameters: "false"});

<scrpt>

That's all?

Best regards, Fdo.
