Thanks for your feedback. Due to the beautiful weather last weekend I had
(took) only time to look at your crash report yesterday evening and I
couldn't find what was wrong.
I think we need to do some test with lens.ini files and maybe on other
platforms as well. This might be a bug.

[George R]

Harry and the Mac Users,

I think I have had a breakthrough!

First I had another setback.

As described above I got the images aligned. Then ran into another
problem!  Having got past the Control Point problem I opened the
Preview window ...
and the  preview image was all washed out when the Photometric option
was switched on.

This was much like the problem described a few months ago here:
 
http://groups.google.com/group/hugin-ptx/browse_thread/thread/8bb9bdbd7eded75d/159a4a2bc1842a84#159a4a2bc1842a84

However this time throwing away the old Preference files did not
help.
(By the way - another tip for Mac users ...  do bear in mind, when
removing old Preferences, that there is more than one file in "Library/
Preferences" for Hugin -  not just "Hugin Preferences"  but also a
group of files whose names begin "net.sourceforge.hugin... )

So I looked for other sources of the problem ... after much trial and
error ... I discovered that if, when loading images,  I avoided my
previously stored lens .ini file and simply entered the focal length
etc by hand then the image appeared normally in the preview window no
matter whether the "Photometrics" option was on or off.

SO then I went back and tried cpfind ...  and it WORKS

[George R]

Harry,

I set the path in the ControlPoint Detectors preference pane for an
existing copy of autopano-sift-c and so far it seems to be working
fine.

So my problems seem  to be with cpFind rather than the Hugin
installation or the file format.

all the best

Harry,
Thanks for that suggestion.

I opened the recent project in Hugin selected the top images from each
of the exposure stacks and invoked CPfind.  It crashed in the same way
as before.  I tried your suggestion with "Tail".  The text below is
the result:
I am assuming that the relevant lines start at the 01:23:29 timestamp
and include the ones before that just to show that I haven't missed
anything out.

With RC3 and previous versions I only had that problem with
enblend.exe and enfuse.exe.
Replacing these with only SSE support fixed that.
I guess time to find some newer hardware or stick to RC3.

The newer release candidates have been compiled with SSE2 enabled for
improved performance. Intel introduced SSE2 support with the Pentium 4
in 2001, and virtually every processor made in the past eight years
has support for it. The Pentium III does not have SSE2 support, and
the binaries are therefore not compatible with it.

I got a response from a user that suggested your Hugin couldn't find cpfind
in some or another way. So I tested by removing cpfind from the bundle but
in that case I don't get a warning at all when run from the assistant and
the progress window closes immedatiely, and I get a "Can't find cpfind via
the path" when run manually from the Images pane.
So also your Hugin can find cpfind and runs it. It doesn't finish correctly
though.

After the cpfind crash, could you do from a terminal a "tail -30
/var/log/system.log". The -30 tells tail to only show the last 30 lines. I
assume that gives enough info, but if there's more a "tail -50" or "tail
-100" (etcetera) will do the job as well.
You could also do from a terminal a "open
/Applications/Utilities/Console.app /var/log/system.log". This will start
the logging application which will scroll to the bottom and gives you nice
copy&paste options.

I hope cpfind will write it's errors to the system log.

[hugin-ptx] Re: Hugin 2011.2 RC5 released

[grow]

Harry,
The Fisheye lens that I use is an old "manual everything" lens mounted
on the Canon DSLR via an M42 -->EOS adapter ... it provides no data to
the camera.  Hence the focal length and aperture numbers are blank.

However when I load the images I use the "load lens data" button shown
in your dialogue to load the following data:
   Lens Type: "Full-Frame FishEye"
   HFOV:  83.85
   Focal Length: 16.4   Focal Length Multiplier: 1

This is the lens/camera/EXIF data that Hugin and I have worked with
for the last four years.

I have spent the evening trying to find a way of changing the EXIF
data, but so far none of the software available to me allows me to
change it.

I tried Apple Aperture (my primary image processing program), Adobe
Photoshop (admittedly an old version), Graphic Converter and Reveal (a
program specifically for viewing and editing EXIF data).  None of them
will allow me to change the entry for focal length of the lens.

Did something else change in this version of Hugin to cause it to use
the EXIF data rather than the Lens-data loaded from the .ini file?

all the best

George

I tried again with 8-bit TIFF files and got all the same error
messages

I googled the error message and found that in other contexts it is
described as
" an exception thrown by the libTIFF [when] it does not like the
layout of your IPTC profile."

So then I tried it with a set of JPEGS and the error messages did not
appear but the control point search still ends in:
"Failed to execute ...cpfind".

I tried all the top images from the exposure-stacks and I tried the
whole of a stack the result was the same in each case.

Harry,

I have installed this RC5 bundle (on my Quad-Core Intel Xeon Mac Pro
running Mac OSX 10.6.8)

On my first test project I loaded 27 16-bit TIFF files (9 stacks of 3
bracketed images) and set their Yaw etc ... .

When I launch CPFind on the images at the top of each stack I get the
following error message for each image (I have shortened the path):

TIFFReadDirectory: Warning, /.../Select/_MG_4235.tiff: wrong data type
7 for "RichTIFFIPTC"; tag ignored.

After a short delay this is followed up by another error saying
"Failed to execute ...cpfind"  (The real message gives the full path
to cpfind and lists the arguments.)

Is the problem that I am using 16-bit TIFFs?

I will give it a try later on with 8-bit TIFFs and let you know what
happens.

Any other suggestions that would get me past this stage would be very
welcome.

all the best

George

have a look at

Yuv documented a lot of the release work at the last cycles. I think
this is a good starting point.

I just did 4 panos ranging from 2 pictures to 9 pictures with overview
activated without any issue. Recently, not only I had disabled overview mode
but I had to save the project and exit and reload hugin before opening the
fast preview. Not so today, I did not have any issue with these last 4
panos. Actually they were so easy to create that it was almost disappointing
:-)

Sorry, I missed that. I had been keeping an eye on the bug tracker, but  
not recently.
I just reinstalled 5578:9e51e7ef8fc7 and it does seem to be behaving  
itself.
I hadn't seen any signs of the bug recently, but have kept the overview  
mode hidden as that seemed to always trigger it on my system.
Probably not enough testing to be sure that the bug is fixed, but it is  
looking good.
Hopefully others who had been able to trigger it will now be able to  
report their experience.
