Salado has a Player and a Converter. The Converter is used to transform
your equirectangular into a useful group of tiles for the player. The
converter is Java and the player dont need to be installed, just to be
used. You need to configure a xml file to it. You can make a template and
use it always.

krpano also has a xml configuration file, but you can generate one
automatically with its tools (not graphical tools).

In fact, if your purpose is to share with family and friends maybe a better
solution is just to upload your pictures to www.360cities.net and the image
is published by them with krpano. I usually recommend this as a first way
to beginners to publish and share.

Hey all,

Just a suggestion for a pano viewer -

If all you need is a simple client for equirectangular or QTVR
photos, Panini viewer is a good option.  VASTLY superior to any part
of Quicktime on Windows [I'm one of those people who uses the QTLite
installer because I have software that requires the Apple codecs,
but I refuse to install iTunes and the like because Apple are
fascists with their installers on Windows].

Panini may be confusing for less technical users, but as long as you
give out equirect images [the rendering of which can be done
straight from Hugin, requiring no conversion tools or anything as
with qtvr] it's very simple to use - open the image, navigate with
mouse controls, alter projection parms with keyboard keys if you
want, and even save the projected image if you want.

@Carlos--
Salado looks good from the demo, but the documentation is a bit thin. I
can't even tell what platform it's designed for. Is it Windows only? I
have no idea how to install or use it. Maybe I missed something.
I can say the krpano demo definitely works on OS X, is fast and seems to
produces excellent results. Seeing as I am not terribly adept, I may
have to bite the bullet and and purchase it. It does a bit expensive
just to share a few panos with friends though. Especially if there are
free and open solutions available that should work on my platform.

I have never been a fan, don't like and probably will never like
flash, but that is my choice nowadays for panoramas. Maybe one day
HTML5 will be a solution for every architecture, but meantime I do
my panos with flash and HTML5. With free software I usually choose
Salado Player as the flash and VR5 as the HTML5. This last one can
detect the browser/OS and redirect for the flash plugin, so the link
is the same for everyone.

If you think of buying a solution you can consider krpano which
makes both flash and HTML5 at once using krpanotools. Other tools
use it, like Panotour pro, from kolor.com  and
maybe others.

My suggestion? Flash. I generally don't recommend Flash, but it
works in older browsers that don't support the HTML5 elements.
