Hello Tom,

Upgrading does not automatically make the new control point detector
presets available. You'd need to either add them manually or use the
[reset to default] button.

If you have autopano-sift-c available, choosing Autopano-SIFT-C
(multirow/stacked) as cp-detector instead of regular Autopano-SIFT-C
should give better (i.e. faster) results.

The heuristics used is described on
http://wiki.panotools.org/Hugin_Parameters_for_Control_Point_Detectors_dialog

Afaict there is no way for the user to simply change the way it works
(except manually for selecting a subset of images in which cps are to
be searched). The heuristics assume that images are sorted this way:

   1   2   3   4
   5   6   7   8
   ...

If autopano-sift-c is not available to you the setting obvously will
not work for you. Especially in that case you really should upgrade to
2010.4.0 rc1, which *includes* cpfind.

All this does not fulfill ...

... but should be an improvement over the
compare-all-images-with-each-other-approach.
