Hmm, I wonder if the issue is that nowadays macOS intends to prompt for permission before random program can access external volumes, document & download folders from the user, etc.
But I don’t know for sure. I wonder if that error occurred in the main Hugin process or in a helper command line tool.

I decided to try again, this time exported the TIFFs full-size and to the desktop. Also saved the project and output to that same location. on stitch the app requested access to desktop files, which I granted and the export completed successfully resulting in a perfectly stitched 208MB TIFF.

Right now, I still have to send to the maintainer the dependency upgrade, including ne annoyance involving OpenMP. I have uploaded my unsigned build, see https://groups.google.com/g/hugin-ptx/c/x-kXXQKVBK8/m/OTw3bnb4AwAJ you could try it out. I’ll see if I can push the imperfect solution at some point during the week to T. Modes.

I need to see your steps from start to finish to rule out user error. You can use quicktime internal screen recorder and upload it to youtube for example.

OK, seems like I'm not THAT advanced; anyway, I try my best. Since the brewing installs Hugin-2019.2.0 and it still does not work, I have already removed it and gave it a try again with Hugin-2024.0.1 Before the installation of Hugin-2024.0.1.dmg, following the AI's advice, I ran: rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Hugin\nrm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/net.sourceforge.hugin.plist\nrm -rf ~/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/net.sourceforge.hugin.savedState\nrm -rf ~/Library/Caches/net.sourceforge.hugin\nrm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/org.hugin.Hugin.plist to remove all possible leftovers from previous installations. Then I installed Hugin-2024.0.1 and, as advised, after the installation, I ran "xattr -cr /Applications/Hugin" and then launched the app. It did not ask for permission to launch. That still resulted in the crash, first showing the "Debug report" and then opening a window with the crash report. I prepared a text file for you and attached it here. I hope it provides a full insight into what happened.

I've got a MacBook Pro from 2023, with Apple M2 Pro and macOS 26.0.1 (for a few weeks) Recently, I downloaded Hugin from the official webpage, and it ran once, but then it only crashed. AI says that the problem is with the color profiles, and that Hugin is not designed for Mac M-CPUs... I tried installing different versions (as well as this one here - Hugin-2024.0.1.dmg) and using brew via terminal - the result is the same.

I only found this group after several hours' work to actually get the 2024.0.1 to build on my M3 mac (cmake/package manager refusing to find both vigra *and* exiv. Would find one or the other but not both!) -- only to find the built code gave an instant crash; could have saved myself much cursing :) So, first, confirming that this works on my M3 Mac, Sequoia 15.5. And second to ask -- could / would you report your fix(es) to the Hugin team so that they can update their instructions, and indeed fix their code! So far as I can see, your only changes to the actual code are wrapped in `#ifdef` so incorporating your changes won't break anyone else's build. They don't seem to have a public git you can make PR from, so the only route I can see is a bug report via https://bugs.launchpad.net/hugin/+bugs (which I would do myself, and quote your fixes -- or point them to your BitBucket -- but that would seem presumptuous of me.

I had some deeper tests from user Fotis Kalafatis and he showed a way to reproduce corrupted panoramas when using Use GPU for Remapping. In stitcher enabling High dynamic range activates some other gpu code from where I did my fix and again it corrupts files. Recommended not to use Use GPU for Remapping if on M-series macs. As Thomas stated many times before. What works for certain cases will not work with other code parts so better to close this door imo. Which leads me to the next question. I would like to simply disable Use GPU for Remapping from mac arm64 builds. THe program works fast anyway and I really don´t see any future getting renewed openGL support in M-series macs, on the contrary, might be taken out in future Mac OS for all I know. Any pointers to where I find the UI Use GPU for Remapping values. Looked around last night but boy is it hard to get to know this program. Who produces builds for mac in general for the official download section? If there´s an interest I could try and produce two builds, intel and arm64.
