I also changed the columns with the "left image" and the "right image". You know that every control point connects two images. One of the image is declared to be the "left image" and the other the "right image". But for the functionality of the control point it doesn't matter whether it's declared so or vice versa (reversing the assignment of "left image" and "right image".
It seems that when creating CPs with CPfind (Hugin's automatic CP detector), the image with the smaller image number is declared as "left image" and the other (with bigger number) the "right image". But if you add CPs manually in the CP editor, you may select an image with a bigger number in the left image pane and the other in the right pane. Then when adding CPs manually, they have the bigger image number "left" and the smaller number "right". When using Hugin, I may want to see in the control point list all CPs that connect one special image (say image Nr. 100) with any other image. In Hugin version 2020 I can sort the column "left image" by clicking on its header. Sometimes I made the error to assume that by scrolling to the CPs with "left image" 100 I could see all CPs that connect image 100 with some other. But this is not right because there are also CPs that have image 100 as "right image" and some other as "left image". So I decided not to use the columns "left image" and "right image", but instead the columns "Min Image Nr" and "Max Image Nr". The problem with finding all CPs with and image Nr 100 and any other image is still there in my version of Hugin (with the new columns), but in my eyes it's clearer with my solution. When sorting by ascending "Min image" and go to where the min images Nr 100 are, it's clear that the corresponding "Max images" cannot be smaller that 100. So you must afterwards sort by "Max image Nr" and goto max images 100. So you can see the min images with numbers < 100. Of course the problem of finding all CPs that connect e.g. image Nr. 100 with some other image can also be solved in the CP editor by selecting image Nr. 100 left and seeing the images that are highlighted in the drop-down list right. When selecting two images in the left and right drop-down lists in the image editor all CPs are shown if they connect these two images - even if the assignment to "left" and "right" image is reversed. This also shows that the order in that "left" and "right" are assigned to the images of a CP doesn't matter for the functionality. . Florian Königstein schrieb am Donnerstag, 15.
