Hi all, Lately, I've assisted a friend of mine to install hugin on his PC. The following are what I, a mac user, realised:
- General: It felt more stable than Mac version, but lacking quality assuarance leaving tools that appeal only to geeks and detemined users. - Installer: By default, leaves tons of aliases on desktop. None except one for hugin.exe is relevant for 90% of the users. Most users do not know what to launch if there are so many choices presented. Besides, why the hell do they all have same icons? It also is desireable to add just the "Hugin" 'program' in Start menu rather than forcing users to find the "hugin.exe" 'executable file' from among many. - Autopano-SIFT: Is the warning against patent violation subtle? Didn't realise one being displayed. I guess it was mentioned in the loong license text. - Documents: The README and other files are installed without extension. How can I read those files? Who knows... That's how Windows works, so please take care. - Icons: First, they are unly; uglier than other Windows icons. Could someone take a look at the icon files to be used on Windows? Is there any way to use antialiasing or alpha channel, or at least to fill background colour to make it less ugly? You can reuse the graphics that Mac version uses. Secondly, has someone thought about what file should use which icon? I don't see why other than hugin.exe should have the Hugin icon. We have the icon designed for .pto files. I can't stand to see .pto files having the same icon as application. - Lastly, could README_JP file be attached for the Japanese users? I can provide converted PDF or HTML files if that's needed, though I remember Shift-JIS is considered default for Japanese Windows.
