The downloading of the CPGs is now correct, but I'm sorry to say: their intarface with hugin is still partly flawed. And there are still some bits missing. I have installed hugin with your new installer, and I think you haven't taken into account the point I have made previously about autopano.exe. Please note that there are two different programs which both use this name and are totally incompatible, as far as their command lines are concerned. The first one is autopano by A. Jenny. This is the one which your installer installs as autopano.exe. It takes command line arguments with leading slashes, and a valid set of arguments line [from the hugin CPG settings dialog] looks something like /allinone /path:%d /keys:%p /project:oto /name:%o /size:1024 /f %i you use this command line in the 'autopano 103' settings. Quite rightly this CPG is labeled as being of type 'autopano (by A. Jenny)' The second one is autopano by S. Nowozin. your installer does not install this one. I have a version 2.5.2 from a previous install; I'm not entirely certain which installer installed it, because the newest I can find on Nowozins web page is 2.3 or 2.4. This program takes command line parameters with leading minusses, a valid command line [from the hugin CPG settings dialog] looks like autopano --maxmatches %p %o %k and it is a different program altogether. It is used in the 'Autopano- SIFT-C (multirow/stacked)' CPG setting as the second stage of the CPG process. This two-stage-process also uses a program called generatekeys.exe as it's first stage, which your installer does not install, so the attempt to use 'Autopano-SIFT-C (multirow/stacked)' fails for two reasons: - generatekeys.exe is missing - the wrong autopano.exe is called > All of them work properly for me on a clean install except match-n- > shift. When selected, hugin runs PTmender instead, but I can't figure > out why. If I understand match-n-shift correctly, it is a perl script which combines several programs to achieve it's goal: a) it calls PTmender to warp the images according to their projection b) it calls generatekeys.exe to extract SIFT features from the warped images c) it uses autopano (by S. Nowozin, not A. Jenny) to create a pto so the call to PTmender is only the first step. match-n-shift has to have generatekeys.exe and autopano.exe (by S. Nowozin) present to function. So match-n-shift cannot work if it does not have both generatekeys and autopano (by S. Nowozin). Since match-n-shift seems to have the calls to generatekeys and autopano hardcoded, and 'Autopano-SIFT-C (multirow/stacked)' also uses these two programs by these names, I think the easiest way out is to give autopano by A. Jenny a different name (like autopano_by_jenny.exe) - or put it into a subdirectory, and change the settings for 'Autopano 103' to call this program. To get 'Autopano-SIFT-C (multirow/stacked)' and 'Match-n-shift' to work, you must also install generatekeys.exe and autopano.exe (by S. Nowozin). This will involve an additional download, since Nowozin also uses the SIFT algorithm (correct me if I'm wrong). I hope this will sort out the CPG issues with your installer! Thanks for caring about the Windows side of things, it's about time a recent version of hugin becomes available to Windows users by a route they feel comfortable with. with regards KFJ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
