[ptx] Miscellaneous Windows Hugin Problems -- Suggestions?

[Mike Runge]

Hi Travis,
I like to give up a few comments.

>1) PTStitcher crashes with buffer errors when attempting to stitch
>more than 60 unages
Does it happen only for native (full) size, or for smaller output as well?

>2) Hugin previews fail with more than 40 images
Worked for me last week with 42 images?! Well, there is still the problem
with way to large buttons for individual images, so you cannot switch
on/of an image with a large id. To really inspect such a large panorama
in the preview it would at least require a zoom/crop feature. I did
small test stitches for large multirows.

>3) Segment faults in Hugin and bad (corrupted) tiff output with pt-stitcher
Hmm, I'm rarely having chrashes?! Switching of 'auto' in the preview
and doing a save frequently seems to make it more stable?!
What do you mean with bad (corrupted) Tiff? Strange colours/stripes? Is
exposure correction for PTStitcher off?
>4) Temp file creation errors with Enblend
Known (and fixed?) bug, switching of the deletion of temporary files for
enblend fixes the problem

>5) Nona saves tiff output in wrong format for Windows enblend (zip
>compression, not lzw)
Hmm,
I think this is only for a combination of specific versions of
enblend/hugin?! Works for me using hugin 0.5beta3 and enblend 1.3
I'm not sure, but I think enblend 2.2 works fine too?!
>etc. etc. etc.

I don't expect that you will have less problems running it on Linux in
any case. A friend of mine just switched to use it on windows know due
to some problems using it on suse linux?! If you're looking for a linux
distribution just to run hugin, you should have a look on existing
packages of hugin like the ones Bruno Postle hosts.

best, mike
