  • Set as Start Panorama – This will set the selected panorama as the
    starting panorama in the tour series.

  • Change Input Type – Change the image’s input type. See the
    properties page to learn more about the different
    types. If, for example, you added several Flat images, but wanted to change
    their input type, then you would first filter the nodes according to their
    type (Flat) and then select all the images. Right-click to open the context
    menu and choose the new input type.

  • Remove Panorama from Tour – This will remove the image and its settings
    from the tour.

  • Remove Selected Panoramas from Tour – If you have selected multiple
    nodes, you can use this to remove them from the tour.

  • Add/Remove Tag – Here you can add (or remove) a tag to one or multiple
    nodes. You can add a new tag here or choose from the list of tags that have
    been added in the User Data (Auto
    Tags are not listed.). Any tag that has been already assigned to the selected
    node or nodes, will have a checkmark next to it.

  • Sort By – From the list, choose how the nodes are sorted. Available when
    a group of nodes or all nodes are selected. If you have a
    Cloner Element in the
    Skin Editor, it will use this sort order. So, if
    you created a menu using the Cloner and wanted to sort your images by their
    titles, you set the sort order here. ✭ Tip: Select all nodes: use Ctrl/CMD-A

  • Open in Finder/Show in Explorer – Click to highlight the image in Finder
    (macOS) or Explorer (Windows).

Filtering


Filter to help organize your images. When you import an image, the folder name
of that image will be added as a tag. This is a
fast way to automatically add tags to a lot of images. If you’re using a Mac,
your
Finder Tags
will be imported as well. Tags are added in
User Data or in the Tour Browser using the
Stamp Tags tool.

  • Stamp Tags – click this create a new tag or to add an existing tag to
    node in the Tour Browser.

Adding Tags

Nodes can be filtered by:

  • Tags – filter by assigned tags, choose from the list

  • Text – filter by any text added to the User Data

  • Distance – enter a distance to filter by distance (Longitude and Latitude
    data needed)

You can also mix and match the filters. For example, you can filter by tags and
distance.

★ Tip  Clicking a filter will reverse it and will show all the nodes that do not pass the filter. For tags or text filters, the filter text is displayed as strike-through text. For a distance filter, the < changes to >.
