Yes, plus Thomas is right and it makes sense to have that functionality on the 
Stitcher tab as well.

In terms of incremental change, what bothers me now is the lack of canvas size 
control on the Fast Preview.  James mentions that in most cases it is not 
needed because only the aspect-ratio is changing in the Fast Preview.  There 
is at least one case when I have no other option but going to the Stitcher tab 
to change the aspect ratio:  stereographic projection.  Moreover, once we have 
"real" zoom functionality, a canvas change in the Fast Preview will be 
significant.  We still need a way to communicate to the user visually that 
something is changing since no change will be visible at a given zoom level 
unless also the aspect ratio changes and the panorama is zoomed out enough to 
see a change in aspect ration.

So for now I'll only add controls to edit the canvas size in the fast preview 
window.
