thanks for sharing your experience.

The problem is that dragging will move all images connected by CPs, so you must do the dragging before adding CPs or find an alternate way to get the image into position before optimizing. Because optimization is heavily dependent from the initial position of the image, dragging it (or setting it there by entering a reasonable numerical value in the Images tab) is not an option. What Hugin needs is an extra switch to the dragging functionality in the Fast Preview window: drag group of connected images (as exist now) and drag individual image (new). > Bruno's project has been interesting.

I found that the starting positions are much more important in determining the outcome than in traditional panoramas on the sphere. > If anyone would like to try to track down the problems in the code > that are causing these issues, images #178 and #180 in Bruno's project > might be good test case. I have not played with Bruno's project and have arrived at similar conclusions as you. There is room for improvement.
