I'm using the pano tools packaged by Bruno, they are in the normal path.

But if you don't you can set PTStitcher / PTOptimizer in ~/.huginrc:

[PanoTools]
PTStitcherExe=/path/to/PTStitcher

ups, there is a bug in my code. but adding the line above into .huginrc
should work.

No, its just the default. you need to give your own (press enter after
changing), or if you want to optimize it, check the HFOV flag in the
Optimizer window.

I'll probably add a next and prev button like in the other GUI's, that
just moves to the next / previous images on both tabs.

I usually use horizontal/vertical control points in the same image to
help the optimizer to tune pitch and yaw for all images.

I don't have time to comment this in detail, but acutally I want to
automate the control point selection to the point where control poins
are created automatically, and you might only need to remove bad ones.

So I wont put my energy into fancy transparent displays and stuff like
that right now. (maybe if my ideas fail, I have to reconsider that ;)
