[Bug 1652170] Re: UI: assistant leaves user confused about step to perform after loading images

1. 2. and 3. before the button is not enough guidance?

No. In default settings they are not aligned (only when the option auto align after loading is ticked in the preferences). The user needs to press "2. Align". Changed in repository to disable the create button in this case.

No, changing projection, position and crop does *not* require to do an additional alignment, because these option influence only the output, but not the alignment.

And then the next f.. ahm user finds a way to do something nobody else had thought before.
>fool-proof assistant which directly creates the panorama without changing anything.
The creation of a pano with 3 clicks is not too complicated. This will not change and gives the user the possible to tweak the output. (Hugin allows a big control about all aspects the panorama creation. And this full automatic one click assistant contradicts this concept)

Title:
UI: assistant leaves user confused about step to perform after loading
images
Status in Hugin:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
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
