Importing Panotour project does not import any of the panoramas. Only node names, hotspots etc.

Here's a segment of the .kpt file showing panorama image info (btw- images are indeed located where path shows they are)-

------------------------------------
<pano objectId="4880" hFov="360" vFov="180" planar="false" dontGenerateTiles="true" minFov="1" tourDirectory="azcm36_4880" x="0" maxFov="90" startYaw="4.8" startPitch="0" startFov="75" maxPixelZoom="true" type="1" heading="85.20000000000107" phi="0" y="372" lowres="true">

Here's the section of P2VR project file that has the above panorama. Note how there is no pano image info

Hummm,
Interesting, I just tested with a KTP file and this opens with all nodes, floor plans and hotspots?
Maybe you can send your project in for us to look at.
The KPT file and folder with all your images.
Please send a link to download it to the e-mail address below.

Can't send the tour with all it's files as it has over 65 high resolution panoramas.

Is there another way I can help you debug this?

Note- are you using TIF cube faces like my example?

Also- the tour and it's files are on a network drive, which *shouldn't* matter, but you never know?


EDIT: A smaller Panotour I have (on same network drive) with smaller equirectangular jpeg source panos imported fine. The program did "freeze" ("Not Responding") for quite a few moments during the process though.

Perhaps your program cannot handle the larger TIFF src files over the network so it just gives up on the images all together?

Found another Panotour of mine where only half the images imported correctly- those that were single Equirectangular TIFFs.. All panoramas that were cube faces did not import.

So it would seem that you haven't coded for situations where the Panotour pano image source files are cube faces.

Hi,
Again thanks for all the information.
We will need to look into this.

## EDIT ##
Can you provide a project file with at least one node and send it in so we have something to work with.
