exact replication of what hugin_stitch_project does now. one icon less in the tray. one process less to consume less resources and reduce the risk that something might destabilize the system. > When a new project is send to PTBatcherGUI this is faster than > restarting it again. This is the argument used by every tray-populating software maker. Your printer will print faster, your open office document will open faster, etc., etc. It's a good argument, but the ultimate argument should be user choice. If the user prefer a faster restart, he will let it run. If the user prefer a tidy desktop, it will tell it to close. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Hugin Developers, which is subscribed to Hugin. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/792784 Title: PTBatcherGUI: add a switch to close the application Status in Hugin - Panorama Tools GUI: New Bug description: PTBatcherGUI currently has a switch (-s) to shut down the whole computer when the batch is finished. On a similar line of thinking, it would be convenient for me to have a switch (suggested: -q) to quit the application when the batch is finished. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~hugin-devs Post to : hugin-devs@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~hugin-devs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
