[ptx] thoughts for hugin UI, post 0.5

[douglas wilkins]

Hi there,

I've read (and looked at) all of your suggestions and I must admit that I
like new6 more than what we have now. There is unfortunately a "but" :-)

But, the options "Interpolator", "Format" and "compression" are all
functions of the stitching engine and as such, belong together. If you
look at pano_panel-2.5.xrc and the nested nona_panel.xrc you'll see what I
mean. 

Post 0.5 this will not change. PTStitcher obviously will not get new
interpolator options but nona may well, and we need to keep the panels
separate to facilitate this.

I use xrced to edit them. They do need to be looked at though, because the
interface has grown over the years and things have been tacked on rather
than designed in.

I think that post 0.5 is a really good time to re-visit these and clean
up.

Not at all! It's great having someone spend the time experimenting to find
a great layout that will result in a better feel and easier use.

regards,
Doug
