People think that hugin can use that information. While in fact, it's
next to useless.
You have done the "measurements" to determine that sharing the "Sigma
8mm lens" calibration data is "next to useless". Others know that
telling hugin howmany rows there are is useless.
You could base an "initial preview" on this information, but hopefully
we'll be able to do that without this info anyway.
Why do people think it's useful? Because they think that it allows
hugin to calculate the positions of the images. They don't know that
we normally do this with accuracy down to a pixel, whereas even when
you work with a click-stop panohead, you'll have variations on the
order of tens to hundreds of pixels (depending on the build quality of
the pano-head).

Does it sit on the couch all day? Is it unemployed? Please be specific!
