Where are the sound properties?

[EVerheggen]

Probably another stupid question, but I can't find the sound properties as the are mentioned here: https://ggnome.com/doc/sounds-props/

I only get a small properties screen without all the options. See screenshot.

Which properties, so the details of the properties you can see, but the properties of what?
First you have to select the object of your desire, i.e. mark or activate it, and then the properties panel will display its properties.

In other words:
INput an audio file and mark it (one mouseklick) and next you see in the properties panel, the properties of THIS audiofile.

Thanks for the answer. As I expected, it was not the smartest question. The problem I have all the time when trying something new in Pano2VR is the lack of easy information from a beginner's perspective. There are tutorials and webcasts, which are a great help. But I miss the quick reference for basic things.

So searching for how to use sound, I found the sound properties description. But it does not work with the background sound. That's was my missing link.

Anyway. Problem is now solved.

Hi,
The properties panel is adaptive to what you are doing.
Add a sound and the properties panel shows the sound properties.
Add a Patch, and it will change to see its properties, add a map and it changes to show the map properties.
But you have to add the feature first before the properties panel changes to show the properties of that feature.

The sound properties are found in the Properties Panel and will appear once a sound is added or selected.

Hi, folks.
I too have some difficulties with sound properties...
The documentation image shows a "Keep" option when changing node in a tour...

This should be very useful for me, having a 4 nodes tour, with only 1 of them having a background sound: it starts when entering that node, but keeps playing when changing node, whilst I wish it to stop when leaving it.
This is how the properties panel appears to me:

Where is that "Keep" option??
How can I remove, not keep, mute, not play, the ambient sound when changing nodes??
Thank you.

Knock knock...
Any solutions?...

Hi,

You have two different panels Properties - Sound and Properties - Input.

If you have the Sound icon selected you see the Properties - Sound panel and the 'Keep' option. If you don't have any sound element selected just the node you see the Properties - Input panel and no 'Keep' option.

Thank you, Tony, but I can't see the sound icon anywhere in the scene... So I can't select it... It's a background sound, and I see it only in the List View...

Hi,

How did you add the sound?

Tony

[ArkiTonio]

Tony, the usual way: clicking on the folder icon then choosing the audio file.

As far as I can tell the 'Keep' option is only available if you load the sound by adding it in the viewer.

[ArkiTonio]

You're right, Tony. Now it works.

But that's a very strange behaviour, don't you agree? Why they let you insert a sound clicking on the folder icon, when this limits editing the sound...?
