How to connect.

After connecting the editor and running the tour, all the hotspots become available for editing. To connect the editor, put the folder "edit_hotspot" in the root folder with the tour and set it in the main xml file:


    <krpano .... >
    <include url="edit_hotspot /edit_hotspot.xml" />
    .
    .
    </krpano>

If you save without editing xml files, you need to additionally register:


    <include url="edit_hotspot /param_set_hs.xml" />

Importantly!
That in the console the last changed parameters were displayed, it is necessary to press on corresponding hotspot.
For editing parameters "rx" "ry" "rz" parameter of the hotspot "distorted" distorted="true" has to be turned on.

Work with the editor.

How to edit hotspot.

Select the hotspot by clicking on it, the top of the panel will display the name of the edited hotspot. Edited hotspot is moved by the mouse and the positioning coordinates are immediately displayed on the corresponding buttons.
Parameter changes occur by pressing the left mouse button and shifting to the left (decrease the parameter), to the right (increase the parameter). The further the mouse is taken from the point of pressing, the faster the parameter changes.
Changes are immediately applied to the hotspot and you can visually control the result.
Clicking on the button highlights it with a green border, and then you can enter the parameter from the keyboard (the numbers on the right side of the keyboard). All digits, percent (button "5" of the upper row of the keyboard), letters A, B, C, D, E are available for entering the color value in the cessna system and entering "prop" (in proportional). After typing the parameter for input, press "Enter", if an input error is entered, the "Delete" key clears the button.

Saving changed settings.

Three options for saving changed parameters (redaction from 9.10.17)

1. Copying from the console.
Open the console (the "O" key). Click on the edited hotspot - the console will display the current hotspot settings.

Select the required parameters with the mouse, copy and replace the changed hotspot parameters with those copied to the file tour.xml.

2. Copying from the modal window.

Click on the button "Copy settings" - a modal window opens in which the current hotspot parameters are displayed. The text is highlighted and can be copied by a key combination "Ctrl+C" and replace the changed hotspot parameters with those copied to the file tour.xml.

3. Saving without editing files xml.
Connect the file "param_set_hs.xml" in the main XML file
After editing the hotspots, click the button in the panel "Save XML".

The Explorer window opens, in which you need to specify the "edit_hotspot" folder to save the file "param_set_hs.xml".
We select the file "param_set_hs.xml" in the window, click "save" and confirm "replace the file".

Reboot! browser window - changes accepted.

Importantly!

In the file "param_set_hs.xml" the parameters of the changed hotspots are stored. When you start from this file, new hotspot values are set, main "tour.xml" does not change. All parameters that are regulated in editor even if they were not edited. The other parameters of the hotspot ("enabled", "keep", "handcursor", etc.) are not affected and edited in a file "tour.xml".
Hotpots edited in the file "tour.xml" at startup will change to the settings from the file "param_set_hs.xml"!
If you delete the file "param_set_hs.xml", then the hotspots will take values from the file "tour.xml".

It is important to save the settings before exiting the scene, otherwise the settings will not be saved.

If you used a file "param_set_hs.xml" then upon completion of work on the hotspots, it must be left with the folder "edit_hotspot".

You need to check the browser save options, by default the save can be in the "download" folder. Change the settings.
Example:
browser "chrome"

Example of saving parameters:
