and yet there is demand for that?
People ask for it. But we had a determined attempt to design a GUI
for it as part of James's Layout Summer of Code project and
immediately encountered so many special cases that it would be the
most complex interface in the whole software. Some of the issues:
Different numbers of photos in each row is normal (actually it's
preferred for spherical panoramas).
Left to right, or right to left, or up and down sequences are all
valid.
Zig-zagging sequences are valid and preferable for partial
panoramas.
Middle-row first is almost always preferable to starting top-left.
All this is why the multi-row procedure exists in Hugin, in
principle it deals with all these cases automatically without a GUI.
