Thanks Bruno, that's got me a bit further. On OS X Nona just lives in 
the same folder as Hugin. You got me as far as an error message looking 
for a file on Ippei's user account. Then as a test I decided to 
generate the script file from Hugin in case I had got the syntax wrong 
and now it works fine. It's so long since I had to deal directly with 
PTStitcher scripts that I'm a bit rusty...

With a bit of luck (and an accurate panohead) I can now make an 
AppleScript/shell script droplet that automatically processes each 
folder of source files dropped onto it.

Thanks again,

Ian
