Public bug reported:

When using the assistant, the user begins loading the images with the
proper button, the first.

The second button is Align, the third Create panorama

However, it seems that when images are loaded, they are aligned too.

So, when the user has loaded the images, he/she gets them aligned, and
he is confused whether he/she should press the align button or go
straightforward with the Create panorama one.

I think that the right thing is - provided that the preview is
satisfactory - to create the panorama. However, if the user has changed
something (projection, move, drag, etc), he/she should realign the
images before creating the panorama.

All this stuff isn't clear in the ui. I thing it would be better that
after loading the photos with first button the second button remained
grayed and unusable until something that requieres realigning is
performed.

Something even better would be to have a fool-proof assistant which
directly creates the panorama without changing anything. This could be
the most user-friendly use level, and it would gain hugin much more
users
