First of all - colossal thanks to everyone who contributes to the Hugin 
projects, and to those who compile the most powerful panorama stitcher.

I wish I was able to recompile Hugin from the source files. Anyway I know 
no tools for such operations.
The list of repeating errors, that needs to be corrected in the project 
source.
instead of manual correcting by a user every time. 

importance !!! major !! mid ! low / minor


*!!! Unconnected images*An image is excluded from processing, but not 
removed from a project.
Panorama cannot be aligned (by Align button).
Solution 1: ignore excluded images (always) and align
Solution 2: auto remove unaligned images (option in settings) then align

-----
*!! image number 0*
Computers count from 0, humans count from 1.
For a human image number zero is a non-existing image.
Solution: start counting from 1 everywhere.
-----

*!! step number 0 + number of steps*+ anything number 0
An example of a bad programming habit.
If the predefined count of steps does not match the real count of steps,
the script does not work.
Solution 1 (better): StepCount=6, then [Step] [Step] without a number
Solution 2 (worse): No StepCount, then [Step1] [Step2] starting from 1

"Step number 0", is actually not a step, but the base we start from.
Something named "step 0" does not exist, this is the starting position, 
situation, condition preloaded before start of the process.

*Batch stitcher options:*
"Remove completed" asks to remove failed projects, but it leaves "File 
missing" - these projects stay forever in the queue.

add to menu
+ Enable Ctrl+A to select all
+ Open file location
+ Delete project (.pto file)
After Stitching
+ Open containing folder

-----
! *Return to Simple* mode after closing a project that requires Advanced 
mode.
(if simple mode was used before opening that project).
-----
*!! Exposure corrected (normal panorama) always active*
Stitching using simple interface - the basic option always active, even if 
no control points added (manual arranging images) - it works.
Stitching from stacks and any arrangement checked if stacks or 
misalignments detected, optional, but always available
*+* when saving - shorten the *suffixes* _blended_fused _exposure_layers to 
1 or 2 characters. 
-----

*Editor (Panorama preview)**! Move option always active *(manual move 
images by mouse) 
-----
*!!! image not found *in .pto project
requires editing the .pto file in a text editor before using.
Steps to recover (for computer):
1. Go one folder up, search for filename
2. Search subfolders (with "Stop" button)
if not found, Options (for user):
1. Open Manual search or 
2. Skip / ignore
if skipped, stopped manually, options:
1. ignore the missing image, stitch anyway.
2. Auto remove image from project, stitch anyway
3. save as a new project (filename_01), open it in Editor. 
(All steps to be defined in settings or in a script file)

*Editor *
*!! Optimize is not working after projection change*
----
*!!! Do not save any logs *option
The highest importance
*.*
