I was thinking how about making a window at the beginning that asks the user if he wants to run Hugin as a normal panorama stitcher or in HDR mode??
Then you show the fast preview window mode with a black background, on the right there would be a control panel with the 123 load, align and stitch tabs, huge text with it On top of the fast preview mode tab you could place some other tabs, on the extreme right there would be hide/show buttons to show the rest of the options In the fast prevew window mode you could also include Drag and Drop directly to it asides from the load images tab, include in the control panel to the right a picture preview mode and in the fast preview window mode you have the usual projections to choose from, after you hit align and stitch then the normal window with the final panorama shows up I could make a rough sketch/draft in GIMP or qt4 as how it could look, the look could be very close to Brunos idea On Sat, Jan 1, 2011 at 7:27 AM, Bruno Postle <[email protected]>wrote: > [Snip making the preview the default GUI] > > Any change needs to be considered as a complete user experience: > > The 123 load, align, stitch functions need to be very prominent, I'd make > them huge text and overlay them over the preview canvas itself so this is > all you see with an empty project. > > Loading images needs to be changed so that the photos don't all appear in > the same place, I'd start in the middle and spread them to the right like a > deck of cards.
