Stitching error message

[wharncliffe]

I've been using Hugin for some time now mainly for panoramas, no
problems.
I am trying to create "islands" using a stereographic image, the
preview is ok but when I try to create I get the following error
message.

"C:\Program\ Files\Hugin\bin\nona -z PACKBITS -r ldr -m TIFF_m -o
stereo -i 0 C:\DOCUME~1\me\LOCALS~1\Temp\hug37.tmp
ContractViolation:
Precondition violation!
Unable to open file 'C:\Documents and Settings\me\Desktop\Botanic
Gardens\IMG_3450 1.JPG'.

caught exception:
Precondition violation!
Unable to open file 'C:\Documents and Settings\me\Desktop\Botanic
Gardens\IMG_3450 1.JPG'.

make: *** [stereo0000.tif] Error 1"

What am I doing wrong! ..... any help gratefully received ......
Thanks.

This error seems to appear with Windows, I don't have a solution.

Though the best advice for stitching stereographic 'little planet'
type images is to always stitch to a standard spherical
equirectangular panorama first, then reload this into a new
single-photo Hugin project - Where it is easy to generate as many
different views, stereographic or otherwise, as you need.

Looking at the error message I guess that the problem may be caused by
the spaces in name. Could you rename the file so it doesn't contain
any spaces and move it to some different directory (eg C:\foo) which
doesn't contain spaces? If it works it's certainly problem within
escaping of names. I wonder how is that possible…

I experienced the same. If I put files to the folders not too long in name or no space (think about using DOS format, just 8 characters folder name), then ok.
e.g. c:\temp\1\a.jpg
