I fixed most the mentioned issues, but not all.
Normally (when you moved the file e.g.) the dialog is only shown once.

The file selection dialog was set with the old filename as preset, so it
was to see which file was needed. But I agree in the title it is more
prominent and therefore implemented.

Title:
  better user guidance if "Image file not found"

Status in Hugin:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  When for some reason one or more images of an existing project cannot
  be found while loading the project a dialog only asks for the first
  file and doesn't indicate that maybe some more files are missing.
  Let's also exchange the "OK" button with something more appropriate
  (since the situation is not OK at all for the user).

  This is the current dialog:

   -------------

   Image file not found:
   /complete/very/long/path/to/first/image.tif
   Please select correct image

   [OK]

   -------------

  I propose a dialog like this:

  The project <project_name> contains one or more files that are missing in <compact/path/to/image/directory> or have been renamed. Please manually select the missing image(s).
  -> buttons "Abort" and "Select image(s)"

  Now in a second step the user sees a file selection window titled "add
  images". Is it possible to exchange the title with something that
  better describes what the user should do like "select
  <file_name_of_first_missing_image>"? (the first missing image in the
  project may not be the first in the folder)

  Next iteration if more images are missing: please don't always display
  the full path but a compact path and like in the above example name
  the image name first. Those additional error messages aren't even
  needed if the file selection dialog contains the name of the missing
  file...
