As a non-programmer (know enough to be dangerous, but only in very limited circumstances :-) ), I very much appreciate the comments of Yuv and Bruno.
My own sense is similar to Bruno's: simple stuff often works great, but when there's a problem, it can be really hard to figure out why. I've learned a lot from the tutorials (even updated a couple) and think that a real manual would go a long way. Not just a manual that outlined the basics, but one that gets under the hood a bit. Often when I read a good answer to a problem posed in this group, it explains what's happening in a way that I could never have figured out by myself and that explanation of what's going on inside Hugin is revealing and useful beyond the immediate case. (Bruno's responses are often good examples of this.) Some of the tutorials are great in this way. So that's a plug for a more in-depth user manual. In terms of the GUI, I find myself with at least two major problems: 1. I have to bounce around the various tabs and screens a lot. This is especially true for the advanced mode with its own window. An interface that reflected the usual workflow better would be great. (The separate window for Advanced mode got a lot of criticism, IIRC.) 2. A lot of the interfaces seem not well laid out (and I think I've commented on a few of these things in various threads). For example, there are radio buttons where you might expect checkboxes, or a control under one heading is actual globally valid. So without going into details, those are the big-picture items that occur to me. I appreciate greatly the work that's been done to bring Hugin where it is now. -- A list of frequently asked questions is available at: http://wiki.panotools.org/Hugin_FAQ --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
