PTOptimizer not working with Hugin generated script - "Syntax error in script: Line 8. Could not assign variable"

[Finfa811]

Hello,

I am using a standalone executable of PTOptimizer that I downloaded from: https://www.ptgui.com/panotools.html. with a script generated with Hugin (2015.0.0 built). My script is:

# PTOptimizer script, written by hugin

# specify variables that should be optimized

# control points

The program is crashing with the following output message: "Syntax error in script: Line 8. Could not assign variable".

Why is this so? Is it something related with PTOptimizer/Hugin version so it is not able to read "i" lines?

Thank you for your help.

Using the part of the script included in your post, and using dummy image
files, it opened OK in Hugin-2016.3.0 without any errors.
What version of Hugin are you using, and which OS?

Cheers,

Hi, thanks for your reply.

I'm using Hugin 2015.0.0 in Windows to select control points and generating the script. If I optimize it in Hugin it's working, in PTOptimizer is crashing. I would like to make it work in PTOptimizer since I need to run the standalone .exe as a console application:

ptoptimizer <name of script file>

Cheers.

The version of the used ptoptimizer is probably too low.
You need at least PTOptimizer/libpano13 version 2.9.19 for the current pto files written by current Hugin version.
Or alternatively you can also use "autooptimiser".
