I developed a panorama viewer plugin that detects xmp GPano tags in photos
taken by mobile phones or stitched with Hugin. In that case, it displays
the panorama projected onto a sphere.
Panoramas are nowadays common elements in photo collections, so when I
presented holiday photos it was a mediocre experience zooming and panning
over a huge distorted photo in Eye of Gnome, whereas most web platforms
(Google Photos, FB) would be so smart and show it in 360°. Something that
was missing from eog.

For now I am using photo-sphere-viewer.js in a webview. It is not ideal
because it takes much memory and pushing local files into the webview is
slow. I'm curious whether Gtk scene graph kit is a better native solution
somewhen in future.
- Are there any problems when I temporarily remove EogScrollView from the
widget hierarchy to replace it with the panorama widget? (I could not get
it work by just hiding.)
- For reading xmp metadata I currently use exiftool, but it is not included
in distros by default. Is there such a function in eog that I could use
instead, to get rid of the dependency?
I would be very happy about feedback.
