Well I'd like to put the preview control into the preview window ;)
the size is automatically determined by the size of the preview window,
a checkmark for on/off will also fit into the window. I think PTGUI has
a really nice preview window, please take a look at it. Someday I want
to have the same in hugin ;)

what do you mean with pending controls? you mean the window could be
hidden and the user is left wondering whats going on?

Ok, please wait a day or two, I have started to modify/rewrite PanoPanel,
and to shift the optimisation into the optimisation panel. I'm also cleaning up
the messy handling with multiple lenses (by starting with a single lens
version ;) I dont think a lot of people understood the current lens
panel completely. I'm probably removing lots of your code, but I think
the result will be a cleaner code and simpler GUI. I hope you don't take
this as an offense, but sometimes I'm a little picky about global variables and
tight coupling of classes. I just had nothing to do at the weekend, so I
sat down and started coding ;)

I'll write something about the previews later on, since I'm currently
still at work.

ciao
  Pablo
