Has this been fixed in the final version?

[Sean P]

Unfortunately not yet, however it looks like the original issue was overlooked (apologies Gumir). I've now got it reported and passed on to development.

Having more than one layer in 360 projection is a must please ! This alone would make it a killer app!!!

How will we know it is fixed? Is there an official bug tracker?

[Sean P]

Hi Erik,

We don't have a publicly accessible bug tracker however, when the issue is fixed by development we will comment on this thread as being fixed.

Hey

 

Any eta on the fix? This is quite killer feature but unless we can use it its useless to us :- (  I got quite few interior 360 to retouch and this is not allowing us/me to use affinity.

Since when can ICE retouch pictures? It can compose, not more.

[Erik Krause]

Still not fixed? The panoramic community is awaiting this eagerly...

I'm gobsmacked this took three years to fix, and your still asking if it's ok, I never knew there was a problem until saw change log, looked at my past pics, oh dear oh dear, all very disappointing, need to re do vast numbers, shocking.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums

It took all this time because we thought it may be intractable. The equirectangular code is very complicated and the maths involved complex. It has taken quite some time to come up with this fix because it was difficult, not because it was ignored.
