Hi Eric, With regard to patfree-panomatic: This one obviously crashes on G4. I had one report from another G4 user and I asked the community for more response whether it crashed for them as well. You are now the second user with a crash report. This confirms that it has to be fixed. I already checked it but haven't found it yet.
For the other two patented CP detectors panomatic and autopano-sift-C: They are not delivered with the bundle, due to the license restrictions on the used algorithms. You need to download and install them. Read the readme inside the dmg you downloaded, or read the page on < http://panorama.dyndns.org/index.php?lang=EN&subject=Hugin&texttag=Hugin>. They both describe simply what to do.
