Thanks, but I think the on-screen view should show the output crop, the way 
Hugin does without having to load the stitched image manually.

Well, at times you just don't get what you want ;-)
If you look at what hugin shows you when you choose the cropping rectangle, 
you also see the parts of the image set which, later on, are cut off when 
the cropping happens. The only thing which lux does differently is that it 
does not mark these areas by making them a bit darker, and lux does not 
show the cropping rectangle as a white rectangle. lux also does not offer 
any interface to modify the cropping window. I feel that it's better for a 
program which is primarily an image *viewer* to show users all the 
available content and let them choose which part of the content they wish 
to look at and, potentially, save as a snapshot (pressing 'E'). Honouring 
the cropping rectangle in the p-line is to allow for stitching to the PTO 
file's specs (press Shift+E), so that lux can function as a drop-in 
replacement for stitching - nice to have, but more of a side product: I 
show the stitched view, so I might as well offer stitching services beyond 
capturing what's in the current display. That's how 'source-like snapshots' 
and the processing of the p-line came to be.
One might consider adding code to lux to show all kinds of additional 
information - the cropping rectangle in the PTO's p-line is one such thing, 
then masks, horizon guideline etc.. I have thought about adding an optional 
vector layer for such data, but I haven't implemented anything along those 
lines yet, even though I find the idea attractive. Please keep in mind that 
I'm not trying to provide some sort of hugin clone. lux is a separate 
program and uses it's own logic, even though it can do things like 
understand PTO format to an extent, which I think is no mean feat. I think 
there aren't many image viewers out there which can do that at all.
