Bug Description

Hugin crashes if the pictures, used by hugin, are stored on a network drive and network connection is interrupted.

Operating system: Windows XP Pro
Path to pics: \\<ip-address>\foo\pic*.tif

Exactly procedure that lead to crash:
1. start hugin (at windows) and create project with pics on available network drive
2. suspend windows to hard disk
3. turn off router and dhcp server
4. reactivate windows
5. forget to turn router and dhcp server on
6. click on panorama preview
--> hugin crashes after some time

The workaround is simple: always keep your files on local discs (one folder per project). This also was a problem for Photoshop decades ago (on Macs) but knowing the problem is knowing the solution.

no show-stopper. workaround proposed by Carl sensible. most users don't do network stitching and does that do know how to handle their network.
