Harry, Thanks for this new version. I gave it a try and eventually got it to complete a stitch - having noticed a couple of odd things along the way.
First odd thing. At first when I changed the Program Preferences to use MultiBlend it seemed to not take me seriously! (I also have this problem sometimes with humans.:-) When I re-ran an existing project it just used enblend as it always had. After several tries over a couple of days it eventually did seem to use Multiblend and after that I couldn't get it to go wrong. I have made a wild guess that perhaps if PTBatcher is open (which I suspect it was in my case) when a preference is changed in Hugin then PTBatcher needs to be quit and restarted before it will apply the new preferences? That is reasonable behaviour - but perhaps it could be mentioned in the instructions somewhere. Second Odd thing When I did get Hugin to use Multiblend the resulting panorama had colours that were quite odd. The blues were sort of copper-coloured or flesh-tones. Greens were shades of turquoise. Browns were shades of grey. It was an interesting effect ... it looked a bit like the scene had been shot on something like infrared film. This time my guess was that the problem lay with my 16-bit Tiff input files. So I re-created my input-image-set as 8-bit Tiffs and this time the project ran to completion producing an acceptable stitch. It would be great if MultiBlend could handle 16-bit Tiffs as the projects where I have problems with run-time tend to be the ones using large 16-bit Tiff images.
