[Bug 1369782] Re: problems with "Programs" preference pane

 

Ah, that makes some sense then. Perhaps the label could be just what you
write: "Path to enblend (if not the default):"

PS Should I separate the other items into different reports?

Title:
  problems with "Programs" preference pane

Status in Hugin - Panorama Tools GUI:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Hugin 2014 RC4 on a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.9.4

  The "Programs" preference pane is a bit confusing in the section on
  using alternatives to enblend (and enfuse).

  1. The text, I think, should be "Use alternative to enblend", rather
  than "Use alternative Enblend program", which implies that there might
  be another thing called enblend (which I don't think is what is
  intended, though perhaps I am wrong here).

  2. Checking the box allows for entry of another executable, yet the
  label to the right of that field says "enblend executable", which is
  confusing. Instead enblend should never have to be written there, and
  Hugin should not worry about that field unless the box is checked.
  (Obviously I have no idea whether it actually does check it, but the
  pane gives that appearance.)

  3. Checking the box and then putting in a new executable name and
  unchecking the box right away causes the field not to be saved. It
  should be. Closing prefs before unchecking does save the field.

  4. The default arguments are universal, and not executable specific.
  They shouldn't be. That way, new arguments don't have to be entered
  upon changing the checkbox.
