✨ NAME ✨

pto2gpano — bestie, this is the lil script that sets XMP GPano metadata inside a JPEG panorama 💖

It lives in section 1 of the manual, it's User Contributed Perl Documentation, and honestly? it's giving niche but iconic. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pto2gpano project1.pto project2.pto [...]

Options: None — that's it, no flags, no switches, no secret menu. We keep it simple, periodt. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so here's the whole vibe: pto2gpano slaps XMP metadata onto your panorama exactly as described here — and once a panorama is tagged with this metadata, it will literally display in the Google+ panorama viewer. no cap. 👑

https://developers.google.com/panorama/metadata/

Now, the assumptions, and listen closely bestie because these matter 🙈:

  • This tool assumes that for each project.pto, there is an equivalent equirectangular project.jpg that needs updated metadata. So like, one .pto, one matching .jpg, they're a set, they're a duo, main character energy. ✨
  • It also assumes that the original photos are available so it can extract the EXIF data info. No originals, no EXIF, no tea. 🍓
