Panotour / Panotour Pro 1.7.2

Hello,

We released a fix version of Panotour and Panotour Pro.

The changelogs of this version are at the end of this post.

We included a new feature in this version of Panotour Pro.

You can now build iBooks Author compatible tours with PTP.

iBooks Author is the Apple software used to create iBooks.
iBooks can now contains some dynamic widgets.
If you choose to create an iBooks widget in PTP, you will be able to import this widget in a iBooks Author project, and then publish an iBook containing your virtual tours.

Once uploaded on an iPad, an iBook and the tours it contains can be read without any internet connection.

There is also a major feature for Japanese users, Panotour and Panotour Pro are now available in Japanese.

Regards,
Gérald

Re: Panotour / Panotour Pro 1.7.2

Quick question -

I've noticed that when viewing an iBook, the aspect ratio of the tour - regardless of whether you are viewing in portrait or landscape - is presented in the aspect ratio of the Default.png file in the root of the .wdgt folder.

Example:

http://dubai.posterous.com/free-demo-ib … oramic-tou

Does anyone know if there is a way to force the tour to be viewed full screen, regardless of the orientation of the iPad?

Re: Panotour / Panotour Pro 1.7.2

Hi Gerald,

I tried different configurations, but I did not find how to get a full screen tour whatever the orientation.

If a solution exists, we will integrate it.

Re: Panotour / Panotour Pro 1.7.2

I've created a widget in Panotour Pro but ibooks isn't accepting it and comes up with this message ; The HTML Dashcode file “ibook.wdgt” wasn’t added. The file doesn’t define a main HTML file. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong or what is the process of to produce an ibook widget and then import into ibooks?

Re: Panotour / Panotour Pro 1.7.2

Hello,

It sounds strange as we force the use of an HTML template in PTP for iPad tours.
Did you remove the template, once you checked the "Mobile tour" option ?

The widget "ibook.wdgt" is a directory.
Could you go in this directory, and verify that an HTML file is in the directory ?
Then could you edit the "Info.plist" file that should also be in this directory ? Use a simple text editor.
The HTML file should be described in this file, like this :

Code:

    <key>MainHTML</key>
    <string>index.html</string>
