The User Data fields offered in Pano2VR (6.1.13 pro) are:

Title
Description
Author
Date and Time
Copyright
Source
Information
Comment

But these do not reflect the data I need to input.

I am using them as is, but it is confusing because they do not describe my data.

This is what I need:

Short Tag
Pano Title
Pano Caption
Pano Location
Date of Photography

Tour Name
Next Tour url
Parent Region url
Copyright

Questions:

• Is it possible to rename the fields in the Pano2VR User Data input window?

• Can I add additional User Data fields?

• Is it possible to set some of the fields (the second group in the list above) to auto-fill all other nodes in the tour -- equivalent to clicking the duplicate page icon, but automatic as soon as one node's information is entered? Plus editing one node should update that field in the other nodes.

Hi Don,
This is addressed in V7, but for now, in V6 you can use User Data and Project User Data, each has separate placeholders.
So for example:
Tour Name can go in the Project User Data title and use $(upt) This will also show as the HTML page title.
Pano Title will be in the nodes User Data Title and will use $(ut)

This gives you a total of 16 placeholders to store project and then individual information.
So for things like date, author, and project title can use the project user data.

You can use the insert placeholder button in the text box properties so you don't have to remember them.

Thank you, I will look into this.

May I ask when version 7 is expected to be released?

nice, this would also be very helpful for translations/multi-language (if unlimited data fields can be added and used)
looking forward to V7!
