thanks for the propose. I changed the label.

I changed the display wxChoice to wxRadioBox. So I hope it is more

This is clearer, do you have any plans for what comes next? Can the Crop
and Mask tabs be merged with the Photos tab? Can the Assistant be moved
to the preview so the 'normal' Gui disappears altogether in 'beginner'
mode? There is a lot of rarely used stuff in the preview that must be
very confusing for 'beginners'.

Probably just me being weird, but I suspect a lot of beginners just follow the buttons on the Assistant tab: Load Images. Align. Create panorama.

Starting to sound like someone's applying the de facto Gnome environment design philosophy: "What functionality can we take away from the user next?" Or a relative of it: "What else can we hide from users now?"

I like the idea of the Beginner/Expert UI toggle. I use ZynAddSubFx and Yoshimi for music work. Both have a Beginner and an Expert UI mode. I think the present Hugin UI is great for an Expert UI. I think the Assistant tab could be turned into the Beginners UI.

I do wonder all this effort to merge tabs together (I don't happen to agree with that, since some of the merges that have already been mentioned have apparently made it harder to use!) when the logical UI element for working on a panorama already exists in Hugin: the Panorama Preview.

By the way, when I see a UI design in which the designer has to *explain in a text email* how to do something in the new UI, the design has some fundamental issues it needs to address.
