How about we move towards always sending the output to a file. Anything
that produces output is sent to a file. We then effectively do a "tail
-f" on that file for the gui. This would simplify the gui and allow the
gui to show the filename of the log (where a user can look up everything
that was ever printed!).
I wouldn't mind having the logfiles stick around automatically. They
shouldn't be large. But a button, or a preference would do (Delete
logfiles: "after use", "at exit", or "never").

running `make' is not self-documenting

Status in Hugin - Panorama Tools GUI: Triaged
Bug description:
It is wonderful that the actual merging process is now "encoded" in a `make'
script; however, the window with the report from the `make' process is not
helpful enough.
First of all, I only SUSPECT that this output is from running `make'; it is not
indicated in the UI. Second, it is not clear what is the directory where
`make' is invoked, and what is the "target" which is "made". (At least on
Windows compiled bundle; other flavors of `make' may emit "Entering
directory..." message at start.)
I strongly suggest adding three lines at start of the window, with something
like
chdir /INITIAL/DIRECTORY
make -f MAKE_SCRIPT TARGET
----------------------
(the form above does not require translation ;-).
======================
Another problem with this window is that it is not possible to cut&paste from
this window when the output is "very active", and took more than one page: the
marked region disappears on each screen output. This may be "temporarily
fixed" by binding Control-A to "mark all", so that one can type C-A C-C and
hope to copy all content before the next line of output appears. (Or just have
all the output selected by default, so one C-C is enough.) A more permanent
solution may be to have a button "Paste all" (requires translation).
