    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?

It should. The error message you get is nothing to worry about - I pass every file to OIIO first to see if it can open it, and when it fails it saves this error message which is never retrieved and displayed at program exit. Maybe I should clean up better before terminating lux - this is misleading behaviour. Thanks for pointing it out!

Thanks.

Considering the failure to open your PTO, I wonder: do the images have an alpha channel?

No, the source images are JPGs and don't support transparency/alpha channel.

I checked the PTO display, and I saw there is an issue with panoramas with images with alpha channel. Most embarrassing - looks like I have a bug to fix. Did you try other PTOs?

I checked a version of the PTO that uses the same images. That rendered fine. It was created in 2021 using Hugin. The problematic PTO file was created in 2013 using Hugin. Hugin doesn't complain about either of them.

Maybe you can post the PTO file, then I can see if I can reproduce your problem. This would help me fix the bug.

I don't know if the list will let them through.
