Hi Mike,

did try it - and I could not add it to any of the ..../themes/xxx.xml (xxx for e.g. 2D.xml) files.
no error occured after reloading PTP and after assinging the added theme and export. could not find the code block in final pano tour files.

so I did manually adding the code to the xxx.xml file (xxx for chosen project name) I added the sourcecode between final
</action>
-> here
</krpano>

...
</action>
<control usercontrol="all"
         mousetype="drag3d"
         zoomtocursor="false"
         zoomoutcursor="true"
         mouseaccelerate="1.0"
         mousespeed="10.0"
         mousefriction="0.8"
         mousefovchange="1.0"
         keybaccelerate="0.5"
         keybspeed="10.0"
         keybfriction="0.9"
         keybfovchange="0.75"
         keybinvert="false"
         fovspeed="3.0"
         fovfriction="0.9"
         movetocursor="none"
         cursorsize="10.0"
         headswing="0.0"
         keycodesleft="37"
         keycodesright="39"
         keycodesup="38"
         keycodesdown="40"
         keycodesin="16,65,107"
         keycodesout="17,89,90,109"
         touchfriction="0.87"
         trackpadzoom="true"
         />
</krpano>

this method did work, but whenever PTP project gets updated and reexported the made manual changes are lost...

Hi
I find the default direction that the mouse drags the pano to be quite un-intuitive. I've visited other panos where the mouse drag works in the opposite direction.
I can't see any way to change it in Panotour. Have I missed something?
Looking through the krpano documentation, the relevant code appears to be:
<control mousetype="drag2D" />
If this is right, where in the themes xml should I put this code?
Many thanks
Mike

Hey Mike, Georg!

AFIK you can change the cursor and it´s behavior using the full navigation bar. But i might be wrong - i never an an interest to change it.
Go to the PRPano site and look for "Interface Examples" and the "Option" box you can have on the screen while building a pano and blend it away after having finished it.

see here:

Hi Georg

Having a look at the krpano documentation, esp

http://www.krpano.com/docu/xml/#include-notes

It looks like you could use an include file, so write an xml file that contains all your custom tweaks then all you need to do is add the include node to the PTP xml and all your custom stuff will be pulled in.

e.g

<include url="my_code.xml" />

It's still a manual edit, but maybe easier than cutting and pasting a lot of xml. It might even be possible to add the include node into the PTP theme xml.

Hi

Using an include file works well.

Into the start of the PTP xml I add:

Code:

<krpano version="1.0.8.12">
    <!-- include standard code -->
    <include url="standard.xml"/>
        rest of the code ...........

Then in the tour directory I create a folder called 'standard' where I can copy any standard elements like cursors.
...............

Easy:-)

Kind regards

Mike

Neat...do the elements you add like this remain in effect for the entire tour?

This could open up a away to cope with specification of custom XML from within the PTP GUI and for custom XML to be retained on/after repeated exports of the tour.
