Does it mean hugin must search in /usr/bin for panoviewer ? So I have to
add this to the searchpath or change the make process a bit.

Would be handy, but is not done yet.

Great.

In the first moment You will see the previous preview.
Once the connection to panoviewer works relieable the preview is updated
by default. The connection to an external programm is somewhat unrobust.

The lens hfov should get allways 90 degree if unset or zero. I updated
this yesterday to cvs. (?)

Multiselection should work - two clicks. Is it better to preselect all
images for the first time they get inserted?

It is implemented and work as something is set to optimize. You can tear
off the Pano settngs tab on the left side with the blue button. This You
have this tab as child window on bottom of the main window. Switch
to autopreview. Select the first tab and press optimize. After some
freezing time the thaw window (small preview) should update.
Sorry this unhandy way. Till I have panoviewer working in flat mode the
firts tab preview gives the most informativ feedback (just very small).
I work just on panoviewer to solve this.

?? - old version?
Bruno, I see You have no direct developers cvs access. This makes Your
sources a bit outdate.

Pablo, I would like to let Bruno get the current cvs state for his work.
This would mean he needs developer access - is it ok so?

I aggree with the first step there should be relieable feedback, thats why
we are writing a gui.
