Usability improvements for many-pictures compositing

[Erik]

I have begun the process of using Hugin to stitch together a massive (~ 1gigapixel) panorama from some 500 individual photos and have run into some painful scaling issues in the process. Most of these can be alleviated with relatively minor changes but I'd like to share them:

* Control points tab
    Change left image, change right image, and refine points / scroll list are at practically opposite corners of the screen. Moving the mouse back and forth hundreds of times gets old.
    Option to show only images on right tab that already share control points with left image please?
    WHY is the list of points a fixed-size widget that forces me to scroll practically every time to check for bad control points?

* Fast preview
    Drag & move, normal - individual mode: The fixed-height (??? >:( !!!!) set of image selection buttons means that if it ever acquires a scrollbar, as when more than ~80 images are loaded on even the highest resolution display, it becomes impossible to click the checkboxes. The new position optimizer seems to not go completely retarded when faced with a handful of bad points (better preconditioning?) so I no longer really need to do this but it's still a thought.
    There needs to be a renormalize/relative/scale option for the colors of the connecting lines on the layout tab so that I don't have to click on every single one of five hundred red lines to find the ten of them containing completely wrong control points.

A way to get a list of image pairs that have points whose distance is more than X sigma beyond the standard deviation would really help as well. Thanks for reading...

For most of the mentioned issues there is the control points list, which allows a fast search for bad control points.

There is cpclean, also accessible from the context menu in the image tab, which does something very similar.
