Hello,

I have a problem with the addition of control points in hugin.  The username of my computer has a space in it and it seems that hugin can't handle that and throws up an error.  Specifically it says:


I've confirmed this by making a new user account without the space and control points were added with no problem.  Is there a way to remedy this without having to make a whole new user account?

Thanks.

I fixed this in the repository. It will be in the next version.
As a workaround create a path which does not contain spaces it (in the full path, that means not in your user subtree). Then set the environment variable TMP to this path and start then Hugin:

set TMP=c:\TempPathWithoutSpaces
hugin

This can also be packed in a bat file and then Hugin be started with the bat file.
Alternatively you can also change the environment variable TMP in the Control panel, section users. This will also affect other program which are using the temp folder.
