Have to put that error somewhere else, but I'd like to display the full
call.

Hmm, I just tried a clean recompile of the CVS on my system (debian
unstable, wxWindows 2.4.2, using gtk 1.2), and both autopano-sift and
enblend work from within hugin.
really strange. Maybe its a bug in the wxExecute function? Have to try on my
Suse installation later on...

Hmm, actually, it should now work with spaces, multiple dots and so on.
I need to add a .tif or something like that to the filename
because thats how vigra decides in which format the image should be saved.
If I leave the extension to the user, people would type in .JPEG and stuff like
that, or use no extension at all, and nona won't save the image. Hmm, so I
decided to strip the current extension (bad for filenames with dots inside
and no extension...) and add the proper one for the selected output type.

So using dots in the output files, without specifying an extension is
probably not a good idea right now.


This only affects the output file, I'm not trying to split the extension of
the input files... So you should be able to add as many dots as you like
to your image files.
