You are completely right! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Option 1: The "file browse" button from Preferences would open in the plugin directory where you would be able to select the available plugin(s) and configure them with multiple configurations like it is now done for linux/windows, thereby bypassing the internal argument line. Option 2: (Even simpler). An installer would copy the AutoCP generator to the same directory where the plugins reside. The "File open" selector would than open (by default) in that plugin directory where you simply select the executable instead of the plugin. For lineair images you simply select the panomatic plugin (option 1) or panomatic executable (option 2) and provide some settings for this set of images. For fisheye images you select the same panomatic plugin (option 1) or panomatic executable (option 2) and provide fish eye settings. Then this will give you multiple options without needing to copy anything (just like the linux/windows solution) My favourite is option 2 as it is much simpler to realize and this one gives a cross platform (lin/win/osx) compatibility. What's your opinion? Others are welcome to give their opinion as well off course.
