How do I force 360 editing in PSP 2019

[roberts-end]

Hi,
Very excited by 360 editing in psp2019 because I do lots of panoramas, but its not detecting my panoramas as 360. Most are cylindrical (ie 360x100) rather than full 360x180. Pictures are produced using Kolor image stitching software. Is there a way to force a picture to open in the 360 editor and wrap around left/right so I can do things like adjust brightness and extract patches without having to worry about where the vertical edge is? I guess I am asking for a menu option "Open as 360" or a checkbox on the File open dialog.

Here are some links to files where it is not working:

I have never tried it myself but it seems Corel requires the presence of specific metadata that identifies the image as being 360. So you would need a program that added this information.

EDIT: This program claims to allow panoramas to work in Facebook and Google by adding such information to the file. http://panoramaphotographer.com/software/exiffixer/

It might work with PSP as well. Again I haven't tested so I don't know if it will.

Did a bit more checking on the Exif information using PSP. The images show the projection settings under User Comments. I have three test images, one PSP sample, two of mine. All stitched using Kolor software and showing horizontal FOV=360 spherical projection. Both the ones that show in PSP as being 360 editable have vertical FOV=180, the one that does not shows as FOV=360x94.55. Looks like PSP2019 does not recognise a panorama unless its full height. This is an unnecessary restriction. I would like to be able to edit & extract cylindrical images from the pano even if its not full height. Messes up my work flow if I have to make all 360x180 as well as messing up auto exposure corrections.
