Thanks, always good to have an improved GUI.
I ran the appimage from the command line, it gave me a window to open
files. I went to open a PTO file, and got a blank black screen. Nothing
happened. Nothing displayed. When I pressed Escape, the window blank
display went away and I saw this in the command line window:
OpenImageIO exited with a pending error message that was never
retrieved via OIIO::geterror(). This was the error message:
OpenImageIO could not find a format reader for
"/home/david/data/MyPhotos/Rabbit Island Vertical
Pano/RabbitIslandVerticalPano-2013092220130922.pto". Is it a file format
that OpenImageIO doesn't know about?
So the new Lux can't open PTO files anymore?

Dear all!
I've finally released a new lux version, after a lot of work on the
program. Linux users already had 'tasters' of what's now in version
1.2.0, there are two big changes:
- I wrote a new GUI using Dear ImGui
- I am now using OpenImageIO for image input
The new GUI should make it much easier to handle the large amount of
options and settings, and pretty much everything can now be done
graphically, rather than having to resort to command line options. The
new GUI also has plenty of tool tips, so one can approach the
functionality without having to switch between the program and the
documentation all the time. I hope this helps to make the program more
attractive. The mouse and keyboard commands are unchanged.
Using OpenImageIO for image input pulls in a lot of other libraries
via plugins and linkage, so the number of dependencies has grown
dramatically, but I think it's worth it. lux can now open a large
variety of image files, including camera RAWs (using libraw, which is
similar to dcraw) and videos as sequences of single images (using
ffmpeg). Some of the image formats which can now be visualized are
quite new (e.g. HEIF/HEIC ), and they were one of the reasons why I
switched to OIIO - the newer formats weren't supported by libvigraimpex.
Under the hood there's the same fast rendering engine using
multithreaded SIMD code, the only change is that automatic rendering
quality for animations is now on by default. And, needless to say,
there were many small bug fixes and tweaks, hopefully all for the better!
There are binaries available <https://bitbucket.org/kfj/pv/downloads>
for Linux (in AppImage format) Windows (portable and installable
version) and for intel-based macs - a version for mac silicon will
hopefully materialize soon, until then, mac silicon users can run the
intel code with Rosetta, which works quite well. Enjoy!
