Hugin Likes to do everything twice.

Good to see the new Hugin 2012 Beta. Thanks, Harry.

I have had a problem with the last several Beta versions (binaries) and thought it was just a Beta thing. Perhaps something is amiss with my installation? Soemthing with the batcher? Some preference somewhere? I don't know.

Anyway, whenever I stich a pano, Hugin does everything correctly then it asks me if I want to overwrite older files (the ones it has just produced.) If I tell it yes it just goes through and does the whole job over again.

Any suggestions?

Re: Hugin Likes to do everything twice.

Could the fact that I have more than one version of Hugin installed be the cause of this problem?

I don't think this is a probable cause but you never know. I have sometimes 3 versions next to each other. Do you also have the 2011.4 version "installed", e.g. via the installer?
OS X starts the default version of an App. It means that it can happen that an older version of PTBatcherGui.app is started by a newer version of Hugin.app.
I have never experienced something be executed twice.

What do you exactly mean when you say: "then it asks me if I want to overwrite older files (the ones it has just produced.) If I tell it yes it just goes through and does the whole job over again. ".

Do you mean that it asks the name again? If so: that's correct. It first asks for the project name and then the pano file name and Hugin suggests the same name, but it leaves out the file extension, so it looks like it is doing things twice.

If you mean that Hugin does "other" things twice like calculations etc., there is something else going on.

I can't reproduce it though.

Re: Re: Hugin Likes to do everything twice.

I'm also running into this behaviour for some time now. Multiple 
installations is a good hint, I'll be on that other machine in a couple 
of minutes and have a look at all the hugin related stuff (the last few 
translations etc.) today.

I'll try to document the dialogs if the overwrite situation rises again...

Cheers,
Carl

It does start an older version of PTBAtcherGui. I hadn't notices that before. I'll have to see if I can change the default setting.

No. It starts to do the whole job over again, but notices that if it does, it will over right files of the same name (the ones just created) so it ask me if I want to overwrite them. Ive attached a screen shot so you can see what' it's doing.notice that it has completed the job then immediately kicks out an error (asking me if it should go on,) and then usually gets suspended (file missing) because I have said "no" to the warning. If I let it go ahead, it does everything over again exactly the same as the first time, overwriting as it goes.

It just wants to do every job twice..

If you mean that Hugin does "other" things twice like calculations etc., there is something else going on.

I can't reproduce it though.

Mac OS X uses a different way of "registering" applications. The last started version is the default version. If you manually start PTBatcherGui and then start a stitch it will use the correct version.

That's why I started with an installer about a year ago. The installer registers the versions of the applications that get installed. In that case you always have the right version.
As users didn't like the behavior of the installer I decided on request to deleiver development bundles only as "a set of applications" in a dmg, and to deliver release versions both as an installer dmg and a "set of applications" dmg.

Please try a couple of things:
- Start PTBatcherGui like described above and please try.
- Remove the other versions you have installed. you could do this by putting them in a zip and then removing the apps. You can then always unzip them again.
- check in your Hugin Preferences under Stitch if you have parallel jobs on for PTBatcherGui. If you have, please try to switch them off. Close hugin & PTBatcherGui, and try again.

(I'm currently not at home and I only have my linux laptop with me, so I can't test).

Ciao Stan
Just yesterday I stitched a panorama [1] with a beta-version of hugin
by Harry van der Wolf [2] on a fresh copy of mountain lion. There are
some bugs mostly related to the new GUI, but the stitching works fine.
I don't know about version 2011.4.0 though, but I suppose it works
fine (I can test in the next few days if you want...)

Re: Re: Hugin Likes to do everything twice.

Thanks Harry,

Your advice has fixed the problem. I don't know if it was the older batch process or or the multiple versions (or some combination of the two.) I removed all of the extraneous versions (and am now running only 2012.0.0_beta1 built by Harry van der Wolf) and all is fine. I did not have the parallel jobs option checked. So now things are running smoothly.

Thanks again,

John
