This is not required, but it is preferable, especially if you are a
developer.  First, keeping the source tree separate makes it less
likely you will accidentally change source code while fiddling with
the build, and gives you the option of deleting the whole build and
starting over if you really mess up.  Second, you can have more than
one external build tree (for example one for MSVC and one for mingw)
but once you build inside the source tree cmake is not able to do any
external builds.

It is not an alien concept. It's just that HuginStitchProject becoming  
a full application (as opposed to agent application without own icon  
and menu) would be. It would be nice if you could develop such full  
application to use HuginStitchProject so that it can be shared between  
Hugin. Then all I have to do in the new app is to ask users where  
Hugin.app is. That way, HuginStitchProject can stay as simple as

The entire preview window as it now stands should be considered a bug.
It is an affront to GUI technology; not quite worse than useless but
very close (at least on Windows).

If in Hugin specifications it states it allows multiple installations 
and each of those installations is using the same registry settings then 
that is a bug.  But don't confuse a developers environment with an 
average end user.  The average end user probably does not know what the 
registry even is.  Even if Hugin allows multiple instances of itself to 
be installed at the same time, I would at least think that all version 
of 0.7.0.???? would still use the same settings.  I would also expect 
that if I upgraded from one version to the newest that all my settings 
would be kept.

Bug: Version information is missing from Hugin.  (As in; right click 
choose properties | version ).  I had to start up Hugin and go to the 
About dialog box.  I have updated all the PanoTools helper Apps to have 

autopano-c script test

Hi all,

(Almost?) my first posting ;)

No time to get/build hugin, but now that there's a test build, I 
fired it up.

As requested in the readme, I tried the autopano-c-complete.vbs 
script.

Not having used vbs, I just tried it. 

1) the vbs was not found. OK, 
   \media\hugin\bin\autopano-c-complete.vbs...

2) Script runs, but then I got "File Not Found" line 107. First
   guess was my JPG filenames. Nope.

3) OK, time to look at code. Oh. It assumes all apps are on the
   path. Silly me.

   Being a tech guy, I know how to set the path in WinXP. 
   Most people don't. This will need fixing for release ;)

4) Now it runs... for a few seconds. "Permission Denied" - line
   114.

   Hmmmm... enable the handy debug code on line 113.
   My files are in a folder with a space in the folder name.

Repeatable Hugin crash when deleting a control point.

Not sure if I'm doing anything special.

Scenario:
* pano with 111 photos
* a few have sparse ctl points
* I'm cleaning out bad ctl points along the way
* Repeatable scenario for me right now:

* Open saved pto file
* Re-optimize (position only) so I can see the ctrl-
point list by distance/err
* Start deleting most-erroneous points
* Four are removed from one photo pair with a good 
density of points.
* The next pair only had two points.
* Delete the bad one
* Crash: hugin.exe Offset 0003ac48, exception 0xc0000005

Repeat, save before crash. (Now, the first one to delete 
will be the one that causes a crash

Repeat again. Now, I get the crash when I click on the 
first element in the list of control points...
- the first photo of the pair displays ok
- the second photo name/number shows up in the right 
hand list... but its associated photo is not displayed 
before the crash

Further testing.

Don't need the ctrl point list.

I just attempt to view those two particular photos in the ctrl point tab. 
Boom.

bug-correction. this slipped through the first installer. the one that I 
am fine-tuning now sets the path correctly.

thanks for the diagnosis.

you mean line 93? just submitted to SVN (rev2756) and will be part of 
the installer I am currently fine-tuning.

I had to change one of my folder's name to have a space in it 

I also added a loop to avoid running multiple instances of generatekeys 
at the same time.

> OK, stuck on this one! Ideas?

Please test again. Installer coming. Or get just the VBS file and place 
it in the hugin/bin folder.

Yes, but I meant to include the term "autopano-sift MONO binaries" (this 
is how one can identify the right download link) and a little hint where 
to look for it, e.g. something like "(you will find it in the download 
section of Sebastian Nowozin's page)"

I knew something was terribly wrong with my interpretation
