If I select, say, 3 images in Lightroom, then use the ‘Edit in PTgui’, the 3 images show up as source images.  The source folder they are in is, say, ‘Duke-game’.

When I use the tool Batch Builder and click ‘Detect panoramas’, the source folder listed is from a prior usage, ‘Miami-game’.  Executing Batch Builder then tries to add these images to the prior, old batch list.

I believe this worked properly in past…but no longer.

Hi,

I don't think this will work. As far as I understand Lightroom will
export temporary copies of the images to a temporary folder, but it will
clean up the folder as soon as PTGui has been started (before it has a
chance to stitch the panorama).

You need to export the images from Lightroom to a folder, then stitch
from that folder. Or stitch the actual orginal raw files in PTGui, those
don't need to be exported by lightroom.

Kind regards,

LR actually creates a TIF…and does not delete them.  I actually created a batch of TIFs, in a subfolder ‘TIFF’.  Sending via Edit in PTgui, did not detect folder.  I tried manually detect, selected the images from folder, it executed, but I could not any ‘xxxx-panoramas.tif’ that should have been created.

I use many of LR raw functions, such as ‘Adaptive color” and ‘AI Denoise’, so sending rows is not attractive.

My goal (desire?) would be to view/select within LR, rather than resorting to Windows Explorer.
