Great! I was thinking of suggesting something similar, and I see that the idea is already on the ring! And I think of another little rewrite too: transforming the assistant in something similar to the various steps of the ubuntu installer, with the possibility to go forward and backward, and with some more explication in every step. Maybe this would make hugin more user friendly. As far of it's now, hugin discourages non tecnical users. I'm dreaming with a newby-proof hugin! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
