Panorama Image - Filename Stamp

[Bhikkhu Pesala]

I just create a panorama image, and for the first time I noticed huge filename stamp on each image included in the final image. Where did that come from?

Hi,

its comes from the "Insert text into selection".

There you can choose the font an font-color

I don't want any text in my Panorama Image, not even 1 point text. Can't I turn it off?

[matera]

Yes, where is the bugger? I can't find any text insertion options that relate to panoramas, and I don't like it either

Hi Steve,

"Insert text into selection"

I don't see where the option is for a panorama. I just see it for batch conversion and it doesn't seem to have effect on panoramas.
I have to say that I don't get the file names when I make a panorama.

I do and danged if I can figure out why. I don't have it checked in batch.

Strange i_view32.ini

Hi,

I just had the curiosity to look at my i_view32.ini. Here is the strange content of the [Panorama section]

[Panorama]
PanoramaDir=C:\Documents and Settings\Laurent\Mes documents\Mes images
Direction=2
ction=1

ction=1
]
PanoramaDir=I:\Teide\captures
Direction=1
ction=1

Garbage?
Other sections also have such kind ob garbage: [Print], [AddText], [Paint], [MrSID], [ContactSheet].

And lines 875 to 1693 (end of the file) are empty.

I admit that I happened to edit the .ini manually. Is it the cause?

I don't see anything like that in mine, but it looks like we found a regression. I notice that the [AddText] section follows right on from the [Panorama] section. Direction=1 or Direction=2 is just horizontal and vertical panoramas.
"ction=1" looks very much like a bit of corrupted "Direction=1"

This is my ini file section

[Panorama]
PanoramaDir=C:\Documents and Settings\Bhikkhu Pesala\My Documents\My Pictures\JPEG\Art
Direction=2
[AddText]
AddText=
Orientation=0
TranspText=0
FontColor=0
TxtBgkr=16777215
FontParam=-16|0|0|0|400|0|0|0|0|3|2|1|34|
Font=Verdana
Corner=2

The "Add text" is for the text in a selection. I don't think that affects the panorama creation at all.

I wonder how Laurent's INI got all that chopped stuff? It could (should) be cut out. Mine is OK. One thing I have noticed recently is that everyone's INI is organized differently. A new INI has very little on it. Everything that is added as each feature is used, is added in the order in which the features are used. It doesn't seem to matter, but it certainly can help to confuse issues when people are comparing INI's!

[Laurent]

Hi Bhikkhu Pesala,

Here, [AddText] is 3 sections before [Panorama]. After its content, I recognize the settings I used for batch processing.

Did you try to rename your .ini file (i_view32.ini.save for example) and then start IrfanView to make a panorama again?

Laurent

[Laurent]

Hi Matera,

I wonder how Laurent's INI got all that chopped stuff? It could (should) be cut out.

Well, I have no idea except that I have edited it manually several times. I just cleaned my INI and suppressed the content of all MRUs (using appropriate buttons in IrfanView). It shrinked from 14 k to 9 k.

Laurent

[matera]

Apparently it is a default setting. The only thing my new INI has in it is:

[Panorama]
PanoramaDir=E:\Archive\scrshots\printerpdf
Direction=1
[WinPosition]
xKoord=0
yKoord=0
Width=976
Height=698
Maximized=0

And the test panorama had ooky green filename on it, like the slideshow default - hmm, do we have a clue?

[matera]

Nope, the fullscreen options text has nothing to do with it, I tried all ways.

After opening the Properties dialog, I have a much fuller INI, but no relief from the offending text. Ack.

All I can be sure of is that the color can be changed from the text-to-selection options. Size too. So choosing the smallest possible size and a neutral color helps

[Laurent]

Hi Matera,

I have exactly the same new INI file as you, but... no text in the panorama
As we use to say in french, "la nuit porte conseil" so I'm going to sleep now.

Maybe the bug doesn't speak French

Sleep well.
