Thanks for building the new version. The first impression: Wow, *dark background *> finally I can stitch night panoramas that waited for years. and this is the only *noticeable improvement* visible to an experienced photographer.
In Batch processor, I noticed that when I check "*Shutdown computer*", Starting a new work next day, we simply don't remember (being humans) that the checkbox was selected. *(Human memory is not a hard drive storing binary data.)* The computer shuts down after stitching a panorama. Please take the checkbox as* One Time option*. At the next start the "*Shutdown*" gets *automatically unchecked.* Hugin was dedicated for photographers, but written by programmers (there is no other way and this is the correct way). Photographers (using many drivers, thousands of folders and organized workflow), are not exactly interested in numeric parameters. The simple interface is the default tool for creating panoramas. Even when Hugin detects advanced features, and switches to *advanced mode*, when Opening a new file, please* return to the Simple interface*. In Batch processor, this button is long awaited: [ *Open containing folder* ] and point to that file in* Explorer.* with thousands of folders it will significantly speed up the work. If there is "Open in Hugin", the project may be also opened in Explorer. Also an option to *Delete* a selected* project* (.pto file) from the drive, from the level of the Batch processor. Anyway when *Open Containing Folder* is introduced, the project may be easily deleted in *Explorer*. Clean up (Remove finished projects from the Processor). It asks to remove Failed projects, but *"File missing*" stay on the list (are not removed from Batch). *Logs:* They are a inconvenience is smooth workflow. In fact, nobody except the developers needs them. Anyway they are saved every time when a project fails. Photographers have different minds than programmers (not %0101#DF5, we see images, that's why we are photographers). Humanists have also different minds - they see words. Musicians hear sounds. It too difficult for us to write a command script, that goes through all folders and subfolders and deletes *all *.log files*. In Batch processor there are options: *Verbose Output* and *Always Save Log* - they are useful for developers. But what about users? [*Never save Logs*] or [*Delete all Logs in current folder*] *Skipping unaligned images*. When Batch processor fails to find control points in a single image, the whole project fails and is not processed. When opening the .pto file in Hugin, the projection is not changed, exposures are not corrected (the *Steps in .assistant files)*. It could be done simpler and logically - all unaligned images are not processed (*excluded*), but the rest of images are processed (aligned, straightened, exposure corrected - depending on the assistant steps) and the panorama becomes stitched without the excluded image(s).
