Re: Automatic rotation of panoramas

[James C. W. <jfc...@ya...>]

Thanks, Christian. That does work, but if I happen to drag the panorama away from the target path for too long the counter runs past zero and pipmak freezes, like you said. But I'm not sure how to solve that particular part of the problem:) Can you advise?
 
Thanks,

Decreasing autoPan_iterCount by 1 in every iteration (i.e. counting  
the remaining number of iterations) might be a way. Just make sure you  
don't divide by zero, keep it above some positive minimum value.
