Thanks so much for adding the feature that permits a user to name the skin.js file! The feature simplifies renaming the skin.js and editing/renaming the accompanying html file when you need to keep all the files for a tour in one folder on a server. For instance, on this site, we have a single flat pano and a long tour, each using a different skin, but in the same folder.

Flat pano: http://themasonic.com/building_history.php

Extended tour: http://themasonic.com/building_architecture.php

Note that for that site, we've chosen to only allow up/down/right/left movement to simplify the panos, plus we put them in a container and added a scaling feature so the panos will scale for window size and work on phones & tablets.

The skin editor feature of Pano2VR is wonderful because you can customize hotspots for individual sites. For instance, on that same site, in a wedding tour I use an award they won as the hotspot: http://themasonic.com/Weddings.php

Here's another example of a custom hotspot in a tour I made for the guy who does this site (panos are down the page a bit): http://oldstmarysdetroit.com/

One more custom hotspot using the editor: http://www.chautauquasportshalloffame.o ... 915_D.html

Or this panorama, part way through a pole-photography tour: http://bigdogpanos.com/html/polemt031617A.html This set of pictures uses 3 different skin setups.

Thanks again. I really enjoy using this program. I know I probably shouldn't put so many links in here, but creating custom hotspots really adds a lot to a tour.
