And how would you like the mouse to behave? When examining a preview, you would like to have a quick overview look. Then you notice a detail, zoom in on the detail, zoom back out. repeat. You want to be able to leave you hand on the mouse while you look here, there. All this would be preferred if it can be done with "big gestures" instead of having to exactly click on scrollbars etc. That's the "why". Now the how. :-) Most programs have a "click-to-drag" and a "scroll-to-zoom" configuration. That'd be nice. One program I often use has middle click to drag and another uses leftclick to drag. Annoying. But both these are easy to find if you leave your hand on your mouse, and can be operated with the eyes "on the image" instead of "on the mousepointer"... > > - I don't know how to adjust the scale of the images in the overview > > window (they seem too big in my project). > There should not be a need to scale the images in the overview > window.

There should not be a need to scale the images in the overview window. That's their size, shape, position in relation to the panosphere.

Hi Bill, thanks these are some useful bug reports and should be added as bugs in the tracker (though search to make sure they don't already exist first). Some comments below: - Some of the screenshots for show thumbnails in the image list. Can you point to these? it could be you are seeing a file browser window or the Add Images dialog which shows thumbnails (depending on OS). - Is there an argument I can pass to CPFind to increase the gamma that it uses when doing a comparison? Potentially the existing camera response parameters in the cpfind input file could be used to map the images to linear space for matching (this would be similar to gamma correction), but without some testing I'm not sure how useful this would be. Control points tab: - I would like the ability to set a gamma value for the entire image in the comparison image views. Actually, this request is broader than control points, I'd like to see it in the mask view and even on the selected image view on the Image tab. Hugin needs to be changed to display photos properly using colour profiles, this would be something related to that. - Is there (or can there be) a way to create control points only between the two images shown? You can select two or more photos in the Images tab and generate points for just those photos. - the sliders on the main preview window seem to be counter-intuitive (at least I have a difficult time using them). Basically, the preview window doesn't have any zoom functionality. The sliders are changing the field of view of the output panorama canvas, which is not quite the same thing. There is a feature request in the tracker somewhere for zooming. - I can't raise the overall Panorama Preview window to be on top of the Overview window (when that window is torn off from the main window). It is an over-view, I think this is intentional. -- Bruno -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hugin and other free panoramic software" group.

[hugin-ptx] Big list of suggestions
Hello, So I have several little things that I noticed, and that I think would help my workflow in using Hugin. I offer these not as complaints, but as ways that will increase my desire to continue using Hugin for my panorama projects. As an FYI, I've tested on a Fedora 11 w/ Hugin 2010.4.0 and a Fedora 14 system w/ Hugin 2010.5.0 from 2/22/2011 mercurial snapshot. I'll do my best to categorize the list since and make it more readable. -- Image list tab: - Some of the screenshots for show thumbnails in the image list. I think this is good, but I don't see them in the versions I'm using. - The text entry boxes in the "Image Orientation" area (which btw might better be called the "Image Position" area since it covers both orientation and location) are too small -- especially for negative numbers (ie. can't see the entire number). - Place the larger view of the selected image less far to the right (right now I have to make the Hugin window nearly full-screen just to see the image). Two quick ways to do this would be to: - move the "Create control points" button to be aligned with the "Settings" and "Points per Overlap" widgets: - shorted the size of the settings pull-down options list Bug: the selected image view doesn't redraw when the window size is changed. - Is there an argument I can pass to CPFind to increase the gamma that it uses when doing a comparison? Actually, I guess it might not truly need this since it has the raw numbers, but I did a test where I increased the gamma in all my images, and CPFind did a better job of finding matching points, so it would seem that a gamma argument could have value. -- Control points tab: - I would like the ability to set a gamma value for the entire image in the comparison image views. Actually, this request is broader than control points, I'd like to see it in the mask view and even on the selected image view on the Image tab. - Can there be a button to cancel a control point creation operation? There is an "Add" button, of course, when working with control points, I don't know how to get rid of a "new" control point that I don't want other than to "Add" it and then immediately "Delete" it. - Is there (or can there be) a way to create control points only between the two images shown? - Can the colors of the control point markers also be placed in a new column on the left of the point list? -- Preview window: - I'd like a preference to set the background color of the preview window to be something other than black. When working with nighttime featureless images, it can be hard to find them with a black background. - the "Scale" value of the "Layout" tab doesn't get set properly when going to another tab and then returning to "Layout". - the sliders on the main preview window seem to be counter-intuitive (at least I have a difficult time using them). Perhaps this is because I'm been testing with super-high-res panorams rather than high FOV images) -- I have to move both sliders way to the right and the top to zoom in sufficiently to see anything. - I would like to be able to move/resize the overall view under the "Preview" and "Layout" tabs with the mouse (ie. not with the sliders). - Preview window (2010.5.0 version): Bug: the image toggle boxes are only big enough to see one digit of the image number. - I can't raise the overall Panorama Preview window to be on top of the Overview window (when that window is torn off from the main window). - The "grid" checkbox on the Ovewview window controls the display of the grid in the primary preview window - I don't know how to adjust the scale of the images in the overview window (they seem too big in my project). - Selecting the "Thoby projection" from the pull-down menu in the "Projection" tab went off to do the calculations and three days later had not completed (yes, I didn't get back to my home computer for three days and found it still calculating). So, a way to interrupt/cancel this would be good -- as well as fixing what is probably a bug. --- Of course, those are mostly orthogonal to my original issue (which I haven't created a good solution yet) of doing an alignment based on the robotically generated positions of each image capture. But looking to when I'll be using Hugin more regularly, these issues will be most helpful. I hope that list isn't too overwhelming!
