Ok, Dont remove other builds. But there must be fully working fully updated Official builds. Builds which are labelled as OFFICIAL. I am using opensource software and I have not seen 3, 4 builds of openoffice. There is only one I download. Dont restrict others.
Fast preview issue in Zoran's build was not only my issue. I raised this issue once. I contacted Bruno too but he is no on windows so he excused. I used older builds. Than on this group many people raised this issue. So after much investigation it was sorted out that its due to openGl support by some certain vga cards. Now its included in Zoran build. it informs users about compatibility. But same VGA card works without problem on latest hugin builds in Ubuntu. About APP pro. I am using it legitemately. App pro trial removes CPs. Only first image pair has 60 Cps and on all other images 2 CPs are left. App pro trial has offered this feature i have not cracked it to do so. Ptgui trial does not give you anything. Its choice of vendor. So its within their allowed limits. I can generate a full gigapixel from App pro with watermarks but i follow your advice it will also be morally wrong......:)) APP pro team is aware what they are offering and what can be done with a trial generated PTO file with hugin. They can also have no option like PTgui but they are confident on their product. So stop advocating me to buy App pro again.
