I never really considered the possibility that the magnifier was on a timer, it just seemed to disappear, and it wasn't clear how to make it reappear. On investigation, it looks like the magnifier doesn't appear when you click down on a control point, it only appears once you have dragged it away from the original location, then when you let go it vanishes after a couple of seconds. It seems to me that it would be useful to see the magnifier straight away on clicking, so you can decide *not* to move the point. It is there while you are moving the point with the arrow keys, which seems good to me, and frankly this is the only time when the magnifier is any real use anyway. It makes sense that it disappears when not being moved, since it obscures a lot, though maybe two seconds is a bit quick. When click-dragging a point, the other viewpoint actually shows a magnifier for the previous control point, not the point you are actually moving, only on mouse-up is the current point selected and the correct magnifier shown. It only works correctly if you first click on the point, then click again to drag - this is surely a bug. When hovering/switching the mouse between viewports, the magnifier appears, but only in the other viewport, I'm not sure what benefit this has. -- Bruno > -- 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.
