[MacOSX] Problems encountered in 2013.0 beta 1

[___matthieu___]

Hello,

There are several problems I have seen while using the 2013.0 branch :

- icpfind does not correctly read the preferences file; the cause is
wxWidgets differenciates between a command line tool and a GUI
application when it comes to reading configuration file. A solution
has been found but it needs testing.
A build with the solution is here :
http://matthieu.desile.free.fr/hugin/Hugin-Release-2013.0.0.6282-a9991501efd8-10.6.dmg

- the splash screen frame is not always closed; I already described
this here : http://groups.google.com/group/hugin-ptx/msg/4ad2bceef80ab44c
I intend to take a look at it (it does not involve complicated
parts) but if someone has already clues about why it appears, do not
hesitate.

- I have to double-click twice to open a project : in Finder, the
first double-click on a .pto file opens Hugin, the second loads the
project file.

- cpfind always use one thread; it is related to an old patch I sent
(http://groups.google.com/group/hugin-ptx/browse_thread/thread/
c274fa6a9877e38d/39be38c2698eb1a3) : due to an overflow, the memory is
always 0, and cpfind thus only use one thread. a patch is here :
http://matthieu.desile.free.fr/hugin/cpfind-available-memory.patch

- the keyboard shortcut to open the preferences is not present; I have
not yet tested a simple wxWidgets to know if it is related to
wxWidgets or Hugin.

- In the fast panorama preview, when I want to change the field of
view, the crop I defined is changed and when I change the crop, the
field of view is changed also. I made a movie for this (
http://matthieu.desile.free.fr/hugin/Hugin-Crop-Jump.mov) showing this
behavior.

A lot of these problems seems related to wxWidgets. Is there any port
(linux or windows) that uses the 2.9.x version ?

Cheers,

Matthieu

Thanks, committed already.

This is related to Hugin. The preferences menu item is not assigned a
short-cut.

I'm using 2.9.5 on Windows.

Hi,


I'm already doubting for a couple of weeks to release either a beta2 or an RC1, but as there are still some issues with the OS X build due to the new wxWindows 2.9.x (necessary for a full 64bit and CoCoa build), I still sit on my hands doing nothing (with regard to Hugin that is).

My questions are now:
- Do we wait a little longer in the hope we can solve the remaining OS X bundle issues in short time?
- Or do I/we release a beta2/RC1, hopefully followed by a full release. Then after the release probably an OSX patch version could be released with the issues solved. This because the OS X issues are annoying but not really showstoppers (or are they?)
- Or are we not in a hurry and simply wait a little longer?

Hi,

  Hello,
 

    I do not think these problems are showstoppers (except maybe the crop/field of view problem). But I am not the only mac user around here and I have a pretty simple workflow, so my opinion may not be the best.
