Are there any examples on the database now? Does it need a special program or app to view?
I would have left a comment after the article, but it would not allow me to.
I asked several months ago about another 360* view app (Rotaryview.com) but didn't get a response.

FYI: These presentations didn't work properly in Safari browser. I had to switch to Internet Explorer. I didn't try any other browsers yet.

Safari isn't supported anymore on Windows. Better to get rid of it.
It's up to version 8 now on the Mac. Chrome on Windows is closer to modern Mac Safari than the old Windows Safari.
Firefox, Chrome, Safari 8 and IE11 are the best options for using this.

ps. Yes, it will support any type of animation, however many frames. For < 360 degree rotations it's just a matter of NOT selecting the option to loop the animation.
I'll also be using this for rotating images of minerals under a petrological crossed-polarized microscope

Jolyon - would be nice if the rotation feature could be searchable in the photo search option, and/or an overlay indicator added in the thumbnail views - much like the indicator for child photos (even better, indicate if the image is rotatable, fluorescent sequence, or something else)

Go to the mindat menu option More -> Device Options
and there is a fix on there.

I have three different android devices here, two of them didn't show the problem, one does, and shows two images, and the fix works perfectly for that.
Did you try the option for two images not four?

Would be still better with a command to activate animation, without need to push with the pointer.

Norman - your zip file did not upload properly there was a problem with at least one of the frames - please try again, make sure there is nothing in the zip file except the images, no extra folders etc.

File size or image size?

Also, the possibility to upload mp4 videos might be interesting and useful for microminerals, polarised scope stuff etc. Got to give it a go at some point...

Here is what I did.
1. Shot a numer of photos and saved these as JPEGs.
2. Put these files in a folder and zipped the whole folder.
3. Opened "My home page/My photos/Add photo".
4. Selected the zipped folder (a file named .zip) and hit the Upload -button.
Mindat runs this upload process for a while and fails.
Maybe my file is too big? Is 40 megabytes the maximum also for these zips?

Got the following message from Mindat:
"Sorry - Your photo did not load. It may not be a valid JPEG, PNG or MPO file, or the file may be too large to upload"
I uploaded the movie (just a testmovie) to Flickr with no problems. You can see the movie here

This is all fairly new to me, so I might be messing things up.

How much pictures should be made for a 360 degree turn? Is it important to adjust the same angle from picture to picture?
Thank you for your help

Uwe:
I've created spins with 24, 36 and 40 photos and all look good, but the more photos the better it looks. It's quite important to get the angle the same between each photo.

The problem is that new upload system does not allow to replace the zip file by another one with all pics of the same size.
Neither allows me to upload a new zip file with all pics with same size as a child photo arguing "Your photo is likely a duplicate of ..."
I'm afraid I need the help of a gentle administrator.
Thanks in advance.

I uploaded a new zip with all images at the same size and in alphabetical order, but not correlative. Maybe this is the reason that makes that the pics to appear disorderly?
Sorry for be mistaken again but the new upload limitation (This photo cannot be replaced as it is in use ...) prevents me to fix it myself. I am afraid that I need your help again.

On upload I got the following error:
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function zip_open() in /home/mindat/www/photoupload.php:577 Stack trace: #0 {main} thrown in /home/mindat/www/photoupload.php on line 577
If it helps, I'm running Firefox Quantum 64.0 64 bit.
Any ideas?
