Of course the thumbs are too small in this example, but since our screen space may be expected to be somewhat bigger than in the paper, larger thumbs can be used. Or simply a list of images on a canvas, with matched images shown to the right of each list item, maybe also showing the number of matched CPs and their average distance, for instance. Like this (img# represents a visual image): img0: img1, img5 img1: img0, img2 img2: img1, img3, img5 img3: img2, img4 img4: img3, img5 img5: img0, img2, img4 Such a list (or the graph view I mentioned earlier) could also be used to trigger the control point to find correspondences between images not linked together yet (for instance when an image is added later). Not sure if this will be used a lot though... > I'd prefer the global CP's table would highlight (put a border around) > the respective images in pano preview instead of loading those images in > CP pane (which takes ages on my computer, same as loading and scaling > images for pano preview BTW). Not agreed. Even though I'd really like to see image highlighting in the pano preview, the CP table now provides easy access to CPs with a large distance, so these can directly be edited in the CP pane. Or am I misunderstanding you? Providing it as an option (with a checkbox in the CP window for instance) would be quite nice though. > > This is only true of course if the images are taken in order, and it > > doesn't apply to multi-row panoramas either. > > This should be a rather unusual case.

How would I miss an image? I'm adding them to Hugin which finds the CPs very nicely, no matter what order the images are fed. I don't see why additional images would need different treatment, in general. Again, maybe I misunderstood your point?
