On the question of generating a layout template for a robotic head or similarly systematic set of images, wouldn't it be convenient to be able to edit the "image lines" section of the PTO as a spreadsheet ? I tried this: 1. open a pto file in a text editor 2. copy the "image lines" section 3. paste into your spreadsheet app (I used openoffice calc) 4. in the format conversion dialogue, choose "character space" as the column seperator 5. edit the relevant parameter(s) by selecting the relevant column and every other row (this is a bit tricky because you need to preserve / rebuild the table structure) 6. copy all and paste into a text editor 7. search and replace to convert the tab seperator to a char space 8. copy and paste into your PTO template, and save. I couldn't help but think it would be a nice feature if Hugin could simply export and import particular parts of the PTO as a CSV file. That would make life much easier :-) best, John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
