Sounds ok to me, release 0.8.0 if it has about the same bugginess or better than 0.7.0 (and 0.8.0 is basically the result of integrating the sumer of code). >I am thinking of the season of usability - hugin's user interface and >workflow / process have been (over)loaded with new functionalities and >maybe a fresh look at them - building on Ippei's foundation in either >wxWidgets or Qt - may unleash even more power from the existing code. Not sure if this was ever mentioned before, but there is a direction the hugin GUI could take that wouldn't involve a big rewrite (Pablo mentioned this briefly in Prague). With improved control-point detection, most users will never really use large parts of the GUI. i.e. the Assistant and the Preview _is_ hugin to most users. Also the new preview has a load of new functionality and is now much more of a 'hub', e.g. you can click on pairs of images and go straight to the Control Points editor. So it ought to be possible to abandon the 'tabbed workflow', and have a single main window which is the Preview merged with the Assistant. The tabs can then become utility windows, used when needed - I'd still tab them: Images, Camera and Lens and Crop can be grouped together, as can Optimizer and Exposure. None of this requires a major rewrite, it's mostly just a reshuffle of the existing stuff. -- Bruno --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
