Thanks for providing the "Align to Grid ... " capability!

I'm a bit unclear on the workflow. Let's say I have a 4 rows x 25
columns pano. I indicate this in the dialog. I then click "Apply" and
the Panorama Editor updates accordingly. So far, so good.

At this point, I would expect to see an "Ok" or "Done" button, but it
isn't there. I click on the "X" in the upper-right to dismiss the
dialog, but this seems a bit non-standard. Also, if I decided against
using the "Align to Grid ..." capability, I would expect to see a
"Cancel" option.

After that, would the typical workflow be?
* Align images
* Optimize / F5
* As applicable, remove outlier CP's to improve avg/max pixel errors
* Re-optimize and repeat removal until satisfactory avg/max
* Pick projection
* Create pano

Align to Grid is a 'tool' window, which you can leave opened while
working in other windows. Or in technical terms, it is non-modal. This
is the reason it does not have OK/Cancel.

It's similar f.e. to the Control Point table: if you delete control
points there they will be removed from the project immediately.

You can use Undo instead.

Yes that's a possible workflow.
