It is also possible to open the panorama viewer window on its own by clicking a button on the extension's main toolbar.

Unfortunately it takes long to generate a high resolution panoramic image. Especially in case if a polar coordinates filter is enabled. That's why an idea to use a third party image processing software in order to achieve a similar effect (called "tiny-planet") appears to be reasonable.
