Title:
  redundant columns in project list of PTBatcherGUI

Status in Hugin - Panorama Tools GUI:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Usually (i.e. using defaults in Hugins "stitch" dialog) both project file and output files are located in the same folder. If that's the case both columns "Project" and "Output prefix" in the project list of PTBatcherGUI display almost the same information: each shows the complete path to the project while "Project" shows the "pto" extension and "Output prefix" hides it.
   
  A more concise presentation would rearrange order (first file, then path) and omit the path in the second column if both paths are identical, e.g. like this:
  Project column: <project-name>.pto (in /path/to/my/project/in/progress/)
  Output prefix column: <output-prefix>

  If both paths differ then only the relative difference of the second path is shown, e.g. like this:
  Project column: <project-name>.pto (in /path/to/my/project/in/progress/)
  Output prefix column: <output-prefix> (in ../../stitched/)

  Another approach would be to only show the path as 'help text' when
  hovering with the mouse over one of these columns.

  Also, PTBatcherGUI doesn't remember column widths set by the user.
  Preset column width is absurd, i.e. too long for "ID" and too short
  for some other columns. An automatic approach to set the width
  according to the content would be nice to have. If the user sets the
  width this should be remembered by PTBatcherGUI.

  Current behaviour is observed in recent versions of Hugin /
  PTBatcherGUI on Mac OS X using a 1600x1200 display, on smaller screens
  (e.g. laptops) this might be rather annoying.
