papywizard xml (type C) from RCPano failing to import

[John Grouse]

When trying to import a papywizard xml file generated by RCPano on the iPhone Hugin reports that it failed to read it. XML file attached.

According to the Papywizard spec http://www.kolor.com/wiki-en/action/view/Panohead_XML_data_file:
In the shoot section, each image contains a unique identifier, the id attribute, which is a simple integer, starting to 1.

But in your xml file all images of the same bracket are using the same id:
    <pict bracket="1" id="1">
    <pict bracket="2" id="1">
    <pict bracket="3" id="1">
    <pict bracket="1" id="2"> ...
So Hugin rejects this xml file.
Are you aware of other documentation of the xml file created by RCPano?

PS: I can try to relax the id check. But before doing so I would like to know where the usage of the same id for different image have its origin.

I didn’t create the RCPano iPhone app, just a user, and there doesn’t seem to be any settings in the app that lets you set how the XML is created. All I can really do is try and raise your concerns with the app developer. However if you can relax the I’d check that will allow myself and all other users of RCPano to use the XML to speed up the alignment of the images in Hugin.

Ok. I committed a changeset to the repository, which removes the id check. So it should now work with RCPano Papywizard xml file.
