PanoPoints

[Pablo d'Angelo]

Hello JD,

I just tried to run panopoints, it starts, but as soon as I click on
the "file open" icon, a warning message box appears:

"Warning: Can't open script: Gtk::Button=HASH(0x8385120)"

I'm using debian, with the following packages installed:

libgtk-perl-0.7008
libgtk-1.2.10
perl-5.8.0

Any idea what might be wrong?

I don't think I'll port hugin to another toolkit, but I interested in
seeing trying your program, to smoothen the hugin workflow.
Contrary to PanoPoints I want to add some image processing /
semi or fully automatic control point creation, not just a a smart UI to
make picking points easier.

It would be nice if you considered contributing to hugin, but I see that
wxWindows/c++ is quite different to perl/gtk.

Yep, they are not very nice, I'm using some functionality from them in
hugin, but one can see from the code that H.Dersch is a physicist ;)

Do you have any plans to start something like that? I'm very interested
in it as well (actually I'm already putting bits and pieces of the
formulas into hugin..). Some time I'll have to complement my panorama classes
with remapping functionality, to do proper pattern matching between
different images, for a faster preview etc.

ciao
