First apologies to Harry, will do, and following up from your response. For those who come later to seek resolution of this problem:
* Solution to problem *: Check for non standard characters in the folder names in the path down to where the pictures are you are loading. I suggest normal letters and spaces only. Alternatively copy the pictures to the desktop and load from there so as to avoid the Hugin program having to look down through the folders with non standard characters to get to the photos. Also, once having loaded pictures and clicking to generate control points, check that the photos in the control point tag page are in the correct order. eg photo 0 paried with photo 1, then photo 2, etc for a panorama. You may find them paired 0,0, then 1,1, with no control points listed or showing. Once you pair them correctly, the control points will show and be listed. This may have been a unique problem, but noting in case it occurs for others. More detail for those who have helped resolve this problem. I can confirm that the issue was the more complex characters is the folder names in the path to the photos, as well as what seems a second, possibly related, issue. Re file names. As a process of elimination, I did find that the presence of an option 8 character "•", leading to "•" was part of the issue. I also found I had to remove the brackets "(text)" that was also part of the folder name. So characters and spaces only in folder and file names to avoid this it would seem. When I moved the two test photos to the desktop, to simplify the path name and hence eliminate this folder name, I continued to have an error until I noticed that the images had been loaded into the control points tag window, paired 0,0 or 1,1. When I used the selection to pair them 0, 1, then the control points showed, and with a clear path name, all went well. So I found I needed to both remove the files names in the path with these characters and make this adjustment. This problem may have arisen because of the folder name issue, not sure. Many thanks to all who assisted. Excited to start using Hugin now. It is a great program and a great piece of work. From a technical point of view, the mathematics, algorithms and coding, complex work to give others a simple way to do useful and fun things. All involved have done a wonderful job here.
