I am needing to make my panos into cubes. To do that I discovered panotools and erect2cubic. I did one pano from the command line and it worked great. The end user though is going to be a friend on a MAC who has almost no computer knowledge and would not be comfortable with the command line. I had been hearing about batch files and learned enough to write up a .bat that allows a person to drag and drop an equirectangular image and it makes the cubes, which works great on my windows machine. I have attached it as a text document. Feel free to comment on it as I am still very new to all of this or if you are needed a drag and drop answer you can give it a try. Rename the .txt to .bat and put it in the bin folder under hugin and it works.
Tonight, I spent way to long talking on the phone with my friend trying to get the .bat file to work on her mac and kept having problems. Does anyone else have experience with the mac equal to .bat files and panotools and have any tips on how to get them set up? (She has perl installed, and we figured out that we needed to rename the .bat to .command. Then we got stuck on file permissions which I did not know a mac even had.) Failing that is there another simple way to ask Hugin to make a cube instead of an equirectangular image or to convert one as erect2cubic does?
