and how does 2010.4 with cpfind (not Autopano-SIFT-C) perform on that same set of 20x2 images? > I will repeat once more and then shut up: Hugin's CP finding is a > disgraceful mess No. You should not judge Hugin by the performance of third party tools. If you want to complain about Hugin, please try cpfind first. Comments, discussion, critique, feedback, improvements to cpfind are welcome. And if you find cpfind to be a "disgraceful mess", we'll take notice. > At the very least, > there must be a web page that spells out how to get and use the > various finders now available. You (and anybody interested) are welcome to create such a page. The Panotools wiki is a good place to host it. Hugin has nothing to do with it. > I am sick of hearing "oh, that is > patented, so we can't talk about it." Yes You Can. Patents don't prevent talking. There is a lot of talk around, e.g. in this very same thread with Panomatic and Microsoft ICE suggested to Emaad as potential solutions to his CP finding needs. And if these tools do the work for you, please use them... > At best, someone will put together a distributable package that 'just > works'. ... but don't ask others to contravene to SourceForge's terms and conditions or to take legal risks to satisfy your wishes. Patents do prevent distribution. Although, distribution is mainly prevented by technical inferiority. If your operating system had proper packet management, you would not be complaining about "bad packages". You're barking up the wrong tree. Yuv
