joost,
thank you for a diplomatic reply to a possibly touchy issue.
i did not mean to sound aggressive with my "hole" expression. while i
do appreciate your work that lead to v6 (reason why i upgraded), i
remember a time when updates were more common than they have been.
there are a number of reasonable features that have been requested
(not to mention small bugs), but we are still waiting. that's why i
wondered aloud whether your decision to duplicate some of what was
provided by the pano-tools suite might possibly be making your life
more difficult now, playing catch up (that's what i meant by the
"hole" thing).
don't get me wrong, like i said in another msg (sent before i saw
yours), in my opinion "ptgui is very good". but, like everything
else, it can be improved, right?
cheers,
pedro
