Inching toward a release candidate???

[Ken Warner]

Anyone know how many inches to go before a Windows Release Candidate
for Hugin?

It's all here:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=77506&atid=550441

Assuming that the OS X control point window problems are solved, the
question is: which of these bugs are actual release blockers?

I got a notice that SourceForge's Certificate had expired.
See the attachment.

And according to the link you provided, 0.7 beta 4 is still
the current release -- right?

As far as I'm concerned the OS X control point window problems are solved.
I already tried to respond on the bug ticket related to it, but there is no bug ticket. I've had three positive reactions on the last corrected hugin but I wanted to wait a few days more. I already mailed Pablo the patch but I assume it needs to be tested on other platforms too.

With regard to other OSX issues:
I filed a bug related to the HFOV & VFOV slider bars in the preview window. I undid the change of 3080 and it works for OSX, but so far no repsonse from other platforms.

The bug with the jpeg quality is annoying but not a show stopper at all. The panorama is saved at 100%, so after crpping the black you can change it afterwards to whatever quality you want.
The bug "Hugin crashes when clicking button "Create new project"" is still there. I asked other OSX users but apparently I'm the only one making multiple projects behind each other. So, again no show stopper.


These were my 2 cents.

Hoi,
Harry

Hi all...

 

Just a word about... "Hugin crashes when clicking button "Create new project""

A time ago, I reported that Hugin had a nasty memory leak when creating multiple projects sequentially.

I've got into the habit of closing and reopening the program for each stitch.

Perhaps that memory mis-management might be related to this bug?

This is not something we can fix, but it isn't a problem apart from
an annoying pop-up.

No, beta4 is over a year old, it is only still there because it
more-or-less works. hugin has changed significantly since then, you
can find a recent Windows pre-release snapshot here:

You can use this snapshot to check the bug reports on sourceforge
and see if any can be closed or clarified:

Thanks,

Do I have to download Enblend as a separate download?

[Ken Warner]

Environment: Windows 2000 SP4; old NVidia graphics card;
800mhz P3; Plenty of disk space.

I downloaded Version 0.7.0.3082

Stitched a couple of Cylindrical Panos with no problems.
And that's amazing considering all the trouble I had
getting Hugin to run on my machine in the past.

I had to use your special version of enblend_HDR compiled
without GPU support to get 0.7 beta 4 to run.

But this version ran fine on my machine. I give it a passing
grade.

Suggestion: When you select the output file type (TIFF, JPG, etc.)
the dialog box that pops up asking for the location and name to
save the panorama in/as should have the file type as the "Save as type:"
default entry.

Also, the "Specify output prefix" dialog stays up through the stitching process.
Shouldn't it pop down? I accidentally hit the "Create Panorama" button twice and
got a second "Specify output prefix" dialog. I think I could have started
another stitch at that time. That would not be a good thing on my
puny machine. Maybe an option that allows/disallows multiple stitches would
be useful. Some machines are big and powerful enough to do multiple,
simultaneous stitches but mine isn't.

I don't know if Hugin is designed to support multiple stitches.

Also, I miss the option to have the final output shown in my favorite
image editor. That was useful. Maybe I'm just not seeing that option.
Does it still exist?

My needs are modest but all said I'd say that you've done good work.
Haven't tried the control point editor yet. Nor have I tried to
stitch a spherical pano. But I think this release is a keeper.

Great, hopefully we can get a formal release out sooner.

The new system is that there are two different programs: stitching
runs as an entirely separate process from hugin itself - i.e. you
can close hugin, start a new project or stitch a different view
immediately after setting a stitch going.

I thought there was a timer to prevent two successive clicks from
starting two identical stitches, but maybe I imagined that.

It has been (temporarily) removed, though it never worked for me
anyway.
