Hi everyone
I just attended the forum and this is my first question here.
I have been working with version 6 of pano2vr.
My project includes about 3000 images and almost none of them has the right North direction. So far I correct them manually by holding N on the keyboard which is so time consuming and tedious task as well.
Is there any way to select a group of them and set the North for a bunch of the images instead of doing one-by-one?
Thanks a lot.

I am so grateful for your response.
there is another problem
every time I manually set the direction and want to set it as North, it suddenly jumps to another direction and changes it
I've been struggling with that for a while
is there any solution for it?

Moreover, after copying the N setting for other nodes, some of them have different directions with the same angle :?: .

If your capture device has a compass such as the Theta Z1, then make sure the camera is pointing the same way in each shot.
As all the panoramas were shot facing the same way and you need to adjust the heading then you can select all and change it for all.
However, if the panoramas were taken with the camera pointing in different directions then you will need to adjust each one individually as Pano2VR can not know which way is north in the photo.

The Set button sets the current viewing direction as north. in the first screenshot, you have the correct direction of the north, but by pressing the Set button you knocked it down.

I appreciate a lot for your help.
I set North for one image and then set it for a group of them and luckily it works.
the only left problem is that:

Is there any way to set the "set default view" for a group of images?
My current view is not the one that I need to be as the default view.

I thank you a lot in advance.
