Hi everyone,

I have a feature suggestion: A panorama filemod.

What it should be doing: When you put a flat 360° panorama image like this one in a folder and set it to filemod panorama, it should display the image in a way so that you can actually look around in the image, like this (needs java installed to be displayed correctly).

It's pretty simple to make a flash panorama viewer, but there's currently no elegant way on how to integrate it into a flash text page in imagevue, because such flash text pages are very limited on how to integrate swf or javascript into them. So having such a feature as a filemod would be great, and would also expand the potential imagevue customer base to photographers that specialize in panorama photography.

Also it would be nice for such a panorama filemod, if it had parameters to set the width and height and wether the image should be displayed as a spherical or a cilyndrical panorama.

Well, while a scrollbar is definitely a good improvement for imagevue, it is still no solution for the 360° panorama photographers. Creatinge an SWF that can display spherical or cylindrical panoramas is not that hard to do (at least not if you're fairly familiar with flash, which sadly I am not) and there's tons of tutorials on the web on how to do it...

As I said before: Having a panorama viewer integrated in imagevue would make this app more interesting for a new group of potential customers and would imho be very worth the time. Maybe these guys would be willing to share some technology, dunno... But I'd really love to see this feature in some future release of imagevue...
