Public bug reported:

The automatic control point generation is reasonable. It usually gives
me a layout that is quite reasonable. However, then I like to finetune
the control points so that they are further apart, and not on moving
objects.

I'm currently working on a HDR pano. So images 3-4-5 are different
exposures of almost the same scene, and they overlap with 6-7-8 and with
0-1-2.

What I find myself doing is, finding a suitable point in image 3, then
creating a controlpoint with image 4, then with 5, then with 6, then 7
then 8. This would be much more "comfortable" if more of this could be
done automatically.

A new controlpoint editor mode could be written: Show one image "large"
on the left. Once I click on a point in this image, the current layout
is consulted and the images that overlap this point are selected. Those
are shown in a grid on the right half of the screen. around each
corresponding point (simple linear controlpoint transformations will
probably suffice as with the current controlpoint guesser) the auto-find
and auto-finetune will search for similar points. Now we have a set of 6
images with ONE controlpoint. We can add all 5+4+3+2+1 = 15 control
points at once! For verification, the images on the right are zoomed in
on the controlpoint. Or the zooming happens when you hover over the
image.
