I have not seen / hit yet a file size limit on our Launchpad bug tracker [0].  
If we do hit a limit, there is place on the panotools server.  I can set up 
something on my own server too if needed.  The bottom line is that if you put 
it on services like rapidshare or other "free" download sites, you make it 
difficult for me (and maybe for others too) to receive the files.

There was (and it was the first or second paragraph) a statement to report 
bugs on Launchpad [0].

If you want follow up on issues or feedback, the bug tracker [0] is the place 
to go.  And even then, don't expect a quick or immediate reply.  People have 
other priorities than yours and you got to accept this (the same way I accept 
it if you decide that filing a report on Launchpad is not your priority and 
the issue goes unnoticed).


> The problem occurred with all the Samyang panoramas I tried.

File a bug report [0].  I don't have a Samyang lens.  AFAIK the developers of 
cpfind don't have one either.  I can't deal with what I don't know, and the 
chatter of a mailing list is not the right place to store this kind of 
information.

I was cleaning up the backlog of mailing list messages and you are lucky that 
I had the time to actually read some of them and not just scan the subject 
lines.  When I saw you kept coming back, I looked into it and quite frankly, 
without raising accusations, I found that people who replied to you 
misunderstand the issue; and not because they did not try to understand you.

Speaking of which:  meaningful subject lines attract attention.  When I see 
"2010.4.0-beta1 Win32 test"  I skip it, simply because I don't have Windows, I 
can't help, and it does not affect me.  "cpfind does not find CP on Samyang 
fisheye images" would have attracted more attention, at least on my side.


> I raised several issues in the original posting

It is good practice to raise one issue in one bug ticket; and to put the 
issues in the bug tracker [0] (no, I won't stop repeating that).  If you raise 
your issues anywhere else than in the bug tracker, don't expect anybody to pay 
attention or do anything about it.  And if you raise multiple issues in a 
single message don't expect anybody to take the time and identify that there 
are multiple issues.

This is not uncommon.  Go into the bug tracker and you will find issues dating 
back to 2007.  This is because people don't have time, and when they do they 
don't necessarily deal with your issues.

I don't even know what you mean with "orphan instances".  Regarding EXR, can 
it be [1]?

As I stated, I read the subject saying "Win32 test" and I decided that this is 
not something I have time for.  Was I wrong? of course I was.  Why was I 
wrong?
