I just looked at the code, and it confirms the behaviour you describe. I too find it unexpected. If what I'm seeing in the code (ImagesPanel.cpp, ImagesPanel::CPGenerate() function ) is correct, it seems a somewhat trivial fix.
Here's what I'd like: --- No images selected and there are no existing control points of the current type (normal, vertical lines), process all images for new control points. No images selected and there are one or more control points of the current type -- pop a dialogue, ask the user if they want to replace all control points in all images (yes/no). If yes, delete all existing control points of the current type (normal, vertical line) and process all images. One or more images selected -- process only the selected images for additional control points. In every case, duplicate control points should be eliminated after processing. Somewhat less trivial fix, probably worthy of a separate function. I haven't ever used the "vertical lines" control point feature, so I don't know how that *really* should be handled.
