I also have Panotour Pro RC2 on Windows XP/32.

Yes, I saw that in another post.   That looks like what I did... but it didn't take.   
After you 'Crop", do you have to hit "enter" or do anything to get it to "do" the crop command?

NOTE:  Not that it matters... I AM NOT using any menues on my Pano screen like you did.

Are you using a Little planet intro?

On a hunch I just explored that and discover that if you use a Little planet intro it overides the crop on the first pano (but not other panos) in the tour when it is first displayed.

If you later return to that first pano then the crop is functional.

This looks like a bug to me.

Bingo... That's the problem.   Yes... I was useing "Little Planet Intro".   With-out "Little Planet Intro" it works fine.

Andrew... you want to report that as a bug or you want me too?


Many thanks for discovering that.
Marv.

Ok... ran into another problem... I now have another project I'm redoing, and I am NOT using the Little Planet Intro.

"Input field of view" is set for 360x180 for all panos.
I did have to set the "Input field of view" to 180 Vertical when I added the correct amount of gray to 2 original 360x 90 panos and cropped them in the Hotspot Editor (used another full 360x180 as a template). (Bottom left image was my single pano test image in thread above).

With the "Mobile device compatibility" box checked... I rendered... but I'm not getting what I would expect in files... as most image folders contain what I would get with-out the "Mobile device compatibility" box checked.
These files do not look correct.

What did I miss.

I may be mistaken but I thought that when you check the 'mobile device compatibility' box you get two sets of output created - one set for normal browers supporting Flash and the other for iDevices - combined with the generic HTML template you then have a tour which will automatically detect whether the user is attempting to view the tour with a conventional browser supporting Flash or an iDevice and deliver the appropriate content.   Would that explain what you see?

You are correct on how it should work... and that is the problem.   You get two sets of files (maybe more)... and when the viewer goes to your site one of the main files determines which device they are using and then uses the correct files. 

See "Rug" screen shot... You get:
A main folder for each of 6 cube faces folders. Inside each main cube face folder is 2 images.... 1ea-"tablet face.jpg" & "mobile face.jpg" and 2 folders... one folder labeled "0" contains the standard cube face view, and the other folder labeled "1" is the cube face view broken into 4 parts (the 4  parts = 1 cube face view).

With Mobile device selected... you get 6 files and 2 folders in the main directory, for a total 50 files in 21 folders.
For my "Convention Center" pano in the screen shot I got 15 files and 2 folders in the main folder, for a total of 317 files in 51 folders.   But... I should have had 55 files in 18 folders for each of the 10 pano's.  Total is a minimum 550 of files in 180 folders just for the cube faces.    Look at my screen shot and you will see what I mean.

NOTE 1:
You will notice that I'm not only missing my "1" folder... but my "0" folder appears to be my "1" folder with 2 partial images in it.

NOTE 2:
On the very first Pano listed which is also the first pano that comes up on the VT Tour... there is a 3rd folder with 16 images.

I have re-rendered (including from a cold boot) with the same results.

Thoughts:
Is it possible it does not like 8 of my 360x180 panos?  (It should.  At least 5 are perfect Panos).
Is it possible there is some setting I missed?
