you can selecte multiple images (with shift or control), and change the
roll, pitch and yaw value then. it will be applied to all selected images.

Known issue..

Jep, that can be useful. as a last resort, you can edit the script before
stitching (with the checkbox above the stitch button) and
remove all images lines except for the one you like to have ;)

Well, a split into an "expert" and "normal user" mode would be nice to have,
when some more features should be added.

btw. very nice pic!  (hint hint: a good motive for a multirow tutorial ;)

hmm, jep. could be a good idea to group images together. have to think about
a possible GUI solution for this.. but then again, I probably won't have
the time to add this in the next time.
