Feature suggestion: "Save Project" per Optimizer iteration

[Rich MacDonald]

A very useful feature for me would be to add a checkbox in the Optimizer tab that tells hugin to save the project file between every iteration. This would help with the very-large projects where the app has pegged the CPU, taken up all the RAM, and become unresponsive. For example, I have a project right now that takes 2 hrs per iteration, leaving only a few seconds where clicking the "Cancel" button does anything. The only way to stop the app is to kill it, and this, of course, loses all progress.

Love the app and thanks for all the hard work.

And/or an auto-save. There are some tools, like vi or even office editors that have a swap file that stores every change. If the program crashes it can recover from the swap file. Another way to implement would be an option to save at each defined time, configurable by the user.

Cheers,
