The new Mac version of Pano2VR is much appreciated. It may well provide the last link needed to transition from the Windows to Mac OS. I've played with the program all day and have searched the forum but cannot find a way to generate the file that was available under the Helpers tab of Pano2QTVR that would alllow creation of a fullscreen_quicktime.html file. Can this be done in Pano2VR and if so, how?

How can a full screen QTVR be created in Pano2VR?

Maybe my question is not clear. Let me try again.
Pano2QTVR has a "helper" tab that allows generation of an .html and a p2q_embed_object.js file that allows the QTVR to play in what the pulldown menu calls "fullscreen_quicktime.html". When this code is executed, the result is a much larger display of the QTVR which sizes itself to the users screen instead of being contained in window size specified on the "Settings" tab of Pano2QTVR. I really don't know if this is called full screen or full window. Which ever it is, I do know that I can't find a similar way to do it in Pano2VR. My questions are:
1. Does this function exist in Pano2VR?
2. If so, how is it accessed?
3. If not, are there plans to add it in the future?

Pano2QTVR can output the required HTML code to make the QTVR display full window (even though it says fullscreen). Thomas has stated that this option will be added to Pano2VR before the "final" 2.0 release.
It is not big deal anyway, you just need the code (javascript) to add to your own web page and your in business.
The code looks like this:
Add this to the <head> of your HTML
Add this to the <body> and insert your "panorama_name.mov"
and make sure you upload a copy of p2q_embed_object.js to the same directory or set a path to it.
Simply copy the above script and paste it into "notepad" save the file as p2q_embed_object.js with Save as type set to "All Files"
Upload the panorama_name.mov the your_page.html and the p2q_embed_object.js to your server and bingo! Full Window QTVR Panorama.

To embed a panorama just call one of these functions with
additional pairs for additional paramameters f.e:
p2q_EmbedQuicktime('pano.mov','640','480','scale','tofit','background','#eeeeee');
Use this file at your own risk

No, but this is the next feature on the list so I hope to have the HTML export ready for beta5.Keith Mackey wrote:The new Mac version of Pano2VR is much appreciated.

Thanks very much for taking the time to provide such complete information. I'm sure that will bridge the gap until Thomas has a chance to release Beta5.
