I thought George's report was on a separate bug where wx execute hack on PPC affecting even the case that doesn't need the hack hence leading to the error. The real question is whether ExifTool's minor error actually leads to displaying the error message on Hugin even on Intel. If so, that's something we should look at. Otherwise, it's just a limitation of ExifTool to me. As to the 'press', quality assurance-wise I actually have a very low expectation from 0.7.0 anyway. Let alone problematic wxMac, as I have made it clear when we started to use makefile for stitching, use of multiple executables can easily become a nightmare. Having separate command line executables may be easier to get something working in first instance (and certainly is preferred way by Linux users), but it is hard to make sure it works for 'all' users. Unexpected errors are thrown out from components (command line programs) that normal users are not expected to touch, and there are inter-process interactions that is much harder to debug. If one programmed those components in a good style having modularity in mind, using that components through API should be as easy as calling those as external executables. I still remember the time and effort trying to get old PTOptimiser executable work from Hugin; we ended up using the functionality directly from libpano after all. I'm quite happy that 0.7.0 finally works for 'most' Mac users now, and I know from the past that quality assurance beyond this point will be an inefficient process that I'm not willing to afford much time.
