Thumbnail menu improvements
Posted: Thu Feb 16, 2017 9:09 am
I have tried to create a skin with thumbnail menu at the bottom of the page. Sadly, two clients in a row now have not liked the way the thumbnail menu operates.
The scroll bar at the bottom is not good to use, they say. And they are kind of right.
The last work in progress can be seen here: http://www.tuur.ee/tuurid/11-stenbock/test/
So we would need some ways to enhance the thumbnail menu with cloner and slider. We can see that in other panorama viewers the thumbnail menu experience is enhanced for example by:
1. adding back-forward arrows that let the user to move the thumbnail strip left and right;
2. letting user to mouse press and pull the thumbnail slider left and right;
3. Moving the slider automatically left-right depending on the cursor position on the slider...
Now the easiest one of these seems to be adding back forward arrows on pano2vr.
Maybe with the method similar to this one: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=9253&hilit=thumbnail+buttons+left
But I have not suceeded. I guess this does not work very well with v5 cloner/scroll
So would it be possible to use any of these 3 methods (or some other way) in pano2vr v5 - to make the thumbnail menu better? So that user at desktop computer would have some alternative way to move the slider other than the scroll bar at the bottom.
