Hello Everyone, I'm a long-time user of Hugin, and a one-time bugfix contributor (back in 2011). I'm between jobs right now, so finally had some time to dig into a small bug/inconvenience that I've encountered with Hugin. I worry that it's so minor that no one else has encountered it.
It's also not really a bug with Hugin, but there is a source code change that could be made to remove this inconvenience. Let me explain: I sometimes use Max Lyon's Tufuse (a closed-source, Windows-only command line application) when stacking images. When I've tried to set Tufuse as an alternative to Enfuse in Hugin's settings, I get an error when Tufuse is called in the stitching process. The error says something like "Cannot open file: <prefix>_stack_ldr_0000.tif". This error happens because Tufuse cannot accept command line arguments of the form "--arg=param", it only accepts arguments of the form "--arg param", but Hugin uses "--compression=<value>" when setting up all the arguments it passes to Enfuse (or the alternative you set in Hugin's settings). In src/hugin1/base_wx/StitchingExecutor.cpp, there are 7 instances of " --compression=". These are used to build the argument array that will be passed to Enblend or Enfuse. Both Enblend and Enfuse use the getopt_long() function to interpret command line parameters. According to https://linux.die.net/man/3/getopt_long, "A long option may take a parameter, of the form *--arg=param* or *--arg param*." So, I think there shouldn't be a problem changing those instances of " --compression=" to " --compression " (replacing the equal sign with a space) in StitchingExecutor.cpp because Enblend and Enfuse should correctly interpret either format. Does anyone else see an issue with that? If not, what's the preferred method of a user submitting a change? Back in 2011 I think I emailed a patch file, but is it better to do a merge request in SourceForge? Please advise. Thanks for listening, Jeff On Friday, October 3, 2025 at 12:10:58 AM UTC-7 T.
