Trouble report 761

QTVR export fails with message "In VRPano_MakeCylinder, wImage==1234 is not a multiple of 96"

Versions affected

5.0 m32 Edition, 5.0 Mac Edition and 5.0 Legacy Edition

Description

This is a new problem introduced in V5.0.  V5.0 added support for a new type of QTVR (Cubic QTVR) and this created a problem for the existing format (Cylindrical QTVR).

Cylindrical QTVRs require the image to be a multiple of 96 in width. The Panorama Factory is supposed to automatically adjust the size of the panorama. Until V5.0, this was working properly. This new problem prevents The Panorama Factory from resizing the QTVR.

Patch

We have prepared a patch for The Panorama Factory V5.0 that corrects this problem.

This cumulative patch corrects the problems described in Trouble Reports 759, 761, 794, 802, 805, 806, 811, 823, 842, 854, 856, 895 and 899.
