With android and digikam we can create panarama and globe-view pictures. after that we can upload it to google+ and get this very nice view of the our pictures: https://plus.google.com/photos/105063207970597478410/albums/5867501150203819665/5867501149865126354 it would be good if gwenview also support a mode like this, where we can look "around" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. make a panorama 2. open it with gwenview Actual Results: the picture is deformed because. we can zoom in but its not like it should be Expected Results: the picture should be formed around a viewpoint, like on google+
Would be nice to have indeed. Not sure how to fit this in the UI though. Is there a way to detect if an image is a "globe"?

Panoramas (aka sphere, globe or 360 images, as you would like to call them) are getting more and more popular since 360 cameras got cheaper and smarter, among you can take it with your cellphone since years ago (since Android 4.2 camera). People are using them in sports, nature, events, etc... In the end, all of them are panoramas from a few degrees (partial panorama) to 360x180 degrees know as complete panorama. Nowadays there lot of open source implementations to take them as reference. As far as I now there are a few projection types but the more common is equirectangular. Metadata about panoramas are stored inside jpeg headers as an open standard (ISO 16684-1) aka Adobe XMP. Reference can be readed here: https://developers.google.com/streetview/spherical-metadata Some opensource projects are: - https://pchen66.github.io/Panolens/ | https://github.com/pchen66/panolens.js - https://photo-sphere-viewer.js.org/ | https://github.com/mistic100/Photo-Sphere-Viewer Hope this add some light and encourage someone to begin working to implement it in gwenview.
specially while using blender 360 render. It would be great to show render to client directly using Gwenview. As a image viewer it is missing for 360.
