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.
