Some of the mouse commands that are listed in the manual are difficult for Mac users, since we don't generally have 3-button mice and a control-click is the same as a right click (we'll leave the trackpad out of it).
That said, I was working on a mask and found some inconsistencies with what the manual says, and just some oddities. Are these actual bugs or has the manual simply not been updated? I'm happy to create a screencast to show them, if that would help. 1. A right-drag inside a mask does what the manual says and moves it. (Control-click and drag acts the same, as expected.) So the hint about command being the same as control on the Mac is wrong here. The only issue I found is that sometimes it takes a second for Hugin to register the click and select the entire mask. 2. OTOH, command-clicking on a line creates a new point there, just as control-clicking is said to for other OSes. 3. When I click on an existing point, Hugin will sometimes select not just that point, but also an adjacent one or more. Why? 4. When I click *near* the mask, Hugin will select 1 or more points. They look like the closest n points to where I'm clicking, but how is it deciding what n is? This looks like Hugin treats a click *near* the mask as if it were actually *on* the mask. Note that unlike #3, the points do not have to be adjacent to each other, but apparently near to the click location. 5. Similar to #4, if I command-click somewhere *off* a line, Hugin will create a new point, but not necessarily in the nearest line segment. How is it deciding where to make the new point? I can actually get pretty far away from the mask and have this happen. 6. Drawing a marquee around a point will sometimes select adjacent points as well, just like clicking does. This is somewhat dependent on the size of the marquee: a small one confined to an area just around a point will select only that point, but if the marquee is big and approaches other points - even if it doesn't include them - then more than one point will be selected. 7. If I drag a point selection (of one or more points) a short distance away from its original location, it will snap back. But if I drag it further, it will stay where I put it. What's happening there? Is there some minimum change that Hugin needs? (If so, that's not very helpful for tweaking masks.) Any help appreciated. I'm happy to file these as bugs, but not if I just need to RTFM (whatever manual that is).
