* sort the controlpoints table by distance by default
* add a default name for the pano if I stitch it. it could be eg the
same name which is proposed when I save the project.
* in the Images tab add the short cut "Crtl+A" to select all images.
* in the control points tab change the colors from simply red&green to
dark/light red/green depending on the quality
* add a matix of fitting quality of images: the image in column i fits
to image in row j with "quality" a_ij. set a_ij to zero/grey if the do
not have control points in common. the red entries in this matrix are
the places when I probably should improve by adding ctrl pts hand
* in the crop tool of the fast preview add this functionality:
doubleclick (left) sets the left (/upper/right/lower) crop side to the
leftmost "black" pixel, ie everything left from this line has at least
one colored pixel. a right doubleclick sets it such that there is at
least one colored pixel to the right and none to the left.
* set jpeg as default output format for panoramas, not tif
* give my some errormessage (for greenhorn-users like me) if there was
not enough disk space during stitiching and so it broke up
* change the image-load behavior: if I click cancel when there is no
exif data, the loading is canceled, not only the exif reading. and if
I say "no idea", hugin optimizes of the hofv as well. see
http://groups.google.at/group/hugin-ptx/browse_frm/thread/65630defbe53c520
* let me choose the hfov somewhat more than 360°: then it will be
obvious that it's really the "full circle", like you show it on the
hugin website on this topband of background images above the menu bar.
I know I can do this in GIMP or anywhere else, but changing an angle
in hugin is easier ;)
just some quick ideas for a john-doe-user...
Thanks again for this great software,
Thomas
Better: Add some way to set the prefered output format. (I wonder why
tif with *no* compression is used by default. Is there any downside for
using tif with any of the three lossless compression methods?)

agree on single-colored bar.
For now I've kept the nuance of the colors from the gradient.
I am still not 100% happy - an improvement could be to move away from
the linear color scale (as now) to an exponential or logarithmic one.

And it should have a "Don't ask this again" checkbox. Or it should only
ask in case the new result is worse. I find this dialogue absolutely
annoying.

as Bruno noted, many of these are very good ideas and it would be an
even better idea to save them in the feature request tracker.
<http://wiki.panotools.org/Hugin_Trackers#Feature_Request>
the one feature I would like to see implemented is Python bindings. User
interface in Python/wxPython with the Hugin functionalities accessible
via some API. Sort of what is being done with Blender too.
A scriptable UI will lower the barrier for smart people like you to go
and make these kind of changes by themselves.
