Hi Mac users,

PTBatcherGUI is built as an APPLE bundle but does not behave like an APPLE
bundle. On startup it checks the existence of the neccessary tools in the
bundle (PT*, enfuse, enblend, and so on), but during runtime it tries to
find the executables via the PATH instead of using the bundle versions like
Hugin does. It requires changes in how the executables are called during
runtime. I have been working on that for a very long time but I can't solve
that.

This morning I woke up very early having an idea what I should have had
moths ago.
What I now did is using an old trick to make a "Linux like" application
behave like an APPLE application. I used Platypus (and as mentioned: I
should have done that already months ago. I use the same trick for the
Avidemux bundles and for Tom Sharpless' Panini bundle).

So here you will find the first PTBacherGui version for Mac as a bundle..

Remarks:

   - Only available in English currently (I will work on that)
   - Application uses Platypus icon in Finder and in dock (Do we have an
   PTBatcherGui icon anyway?).
   - About box doesn't work

Program use:

   - Set "Verbose Output"  switch to on: you will see what's happening and
   in case it doesn't work we have some more info on what's going wrong.
   - Note that your final image will have the project name and will be
   created inside the folder where the project resides
   - Use (Menu) "Help -> Batcher Stitcher Help" to get going.
   - Set switch "Overwrite always" to on if you have existing images and you
   don't want to be bothered between stitch runs whether the image(s) should be
   overwritten.

I ran PTBatcherGui on five projects and it worked fine.

Let me know (via hugin-ptx) how it functions for you. You can find it on my
website "below"  the hugin builds.

Note: Off course we still need to fix PTBatcherGUI to make it work like a
real APPLE bundled application, but I can't do that on my own (as my C++
programming skill are little more than that of a bull frog).
