Hugin Panorama Editor window

Tabs

The Panorama Editor window is also 'tab' based. Below you see a partial example screen of the Panorama Editor window showing the tabs with above it the button bar.

Menus

File

• New, discard the current project and start a new empty project.
• Open an existing hugin, PTGUI, PTAssembler, autopano or autopano-sift project file.
• Save the current project as a hugin pto file.
• Save as a pto file with a different name.
• Write PTStitcher script, saves a simplified project file suitable for batch stitching with PTStitcher, nona or PTmender. Note that nona can stitch a hugin project file directly, so this step is unnecessary when using nona.
• Most recently used projects, shows a list of recent Hugin projects.
• Run Batch Processor, launches the Hugin Batch Processor GUI queue manager, note that the queue won't be processed unless this queue manager is running.
• Merge project, can be used to merge another project with the current project: new photos will be added to the list of images, for duplicate photos only the control points are merged.
• Apply Template, assigns parameters from an existing pto project to the current set of photos. Only position and lens parameters are transferred, control points are ignored.

Edit
