[Bug 787075] Re: Smartblend wrapper doesn't work in Hugin 2011.0 RC1

 

Warning:  I have not been using Windows for year and I am no longer
familiar with Hugin on Windows.

That said, here a few questions and hints to help zero-in on the
problem.

Are you using an installer or a zipped package distribution?

How is smartblend added to the mix?  just copy smartblend.exe into the
Hugin directory?

Matthew provided both an installer and a zip package for both 2010.4 and
2011.0.  Can you please download the zip files for both and do a few
tests?

First: do the 2011.0 RC1 installer and zip package get to the same
result?  just to check the obvious.

Next: copy a fresh unzipped 2011.0 onto a fresh unzipped 2010.4.  Then
try using smartblend from that "hybrid".  If it works, then some file
(maybe a dll?) is missing in the 2011.0 zip file but present in 2010.4.

Hugin does not use DEVIL.DLL.  Is it Smartblend?  And what file is it
trying to read?

Another possible avenue:  can you check in the Hugin preferences,
Stitching tab, what output format is selected?  if TIFF with
compression, try TIFF without compression.  It may be that smartblend /
DEVIL.DLL has not been compiled with support for LZW compression because
of a patent (expired in 2003) and consequently it is not able to read
intermediate images produced by nona.

It would help if you could paste / attach the full output log of Hugin
to this report.

Title:
  Smartblend wrapper doesn't work in Hugin 2011.0 RC1

Status in Hugin - Panorama Tools GUI:
  New

Bug description:
  In Hugin 2011.0 RC1(downloaded from sourceforge) Smartblend wrapper doesn't work. System Windows XP 32 bit. During stitching smartblend gives an internal error. DEVIL.dll can't read the file. Stitching goes on but there is no output file created. 
  There is no error log created, which can be saved. fast reading gives that message. In Hugin 2010.4 it still worked.
