Thanks for committing. I agree that the preset menu and probably the whole Optimizer tab is confusing to inexperienced users. I've been trying to come up with a way to improve usability but I can't think of a scheme that wouldn't make my own workflow cumbersome or even impossible. One approach would be to make the user decide early on in the process whether he's working on a (i) linear, flat, mosaic (or whatever it's called) panorama involving translation parameters or a (ii) traditional one. For (i) automatically do optimization including translation params and for (ii) activate them only for shots somehow "tagged" as nadir shots. But probably that's a usability nightmare as well and I'm pretty sure that there will be people finding very valid and creative use cases that involve both types in one project. Maybe we just have to accept that hugin is an extremely powerful tool which can only lose part of it's power if it's made "easy".
