Well I have gone back and tried it and looked over the documentation pretty carefully. Indeed these features do not work on the Mac version (as far as I can tell.)
Originally, if I remember correctly, Apple developed the "command/ Apple" key only for GUI related functions, preserving the meaning of the control and alt/option keys. The problem may stem from when Microsoft (and others?) took a different approach to modifier keys adding the "Windows" key but not in as restrained a way, which sort of muddied up the function of control, alt and the command keys. I assume they stuck with their system despite the conflicts because changing would have been a pain late in the game. I'm not trying to stir up a platform argument, this is just the way I remember it. And accept my apologies my memory is faulty. Anyway, on the Mac, the control key has two functions. One is the traditional control modifier which is handy on terminals, etc. The other is for use with the mouse to produce contextual menus. Holding control while using the mouse (or left mouse key) is equal to using the right mouse key and always has been. On a Mac with a multi-button mouse using the left mouse button while holding down the control key should therefore be equivalent to using the right mouse key without modification, which again, normally provides access to contextual menus. So using the control key with the right mouse key is not really done on the Mac. Oddly enough using that combination (ctrl + RH mouse ) on a mask control point in Hugin deletes the point and appears to be the *only way* to do so. Simply using RH mouse button or( ctr +LH mouse button) does nothing. The delete key, even with any number of modification keys I have tried, also does nothing. Also after similar experimentation, I have not been able to find any way to add a point to a mask. On Nov 5, 7:10 am, "Carlos Eduardo G.

But now that you pointed out the zoom control, I can zoom in and the relative lack of precision is much less of a problem. > Cheers, > > Carlos E G Carvalho (Cartola)http://cartola.org/360 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
