Hmm, I've created ~100 control point with 200% zoomfactor and haven't
encountered a crash (with the linux version), maybe its windows only?
Has anybody on linux seen that crash with a hugin version newer than 1 week?

I'm strictly against displaying outdated and inconsistent data. If I add it,
the it will be reset to zero whenever the point changes.

Well its not so bad, but its a fairly complex pice of code that grew over
the last 1 1/2 years, and one of the parts that should be completly
rewritten.

I think this can be done with hugin now (but requires a few more
mouseclicks):

1. select all images in the lens tab
2. click the each inherit button twice (the first click will link all
parameters, the second one will unlink them)
3. select the variables to optimize
4. check "edit script before optimizing", to see the script.

all selected parameters will be optimized separately.
btw. I have cleaned up the PTOptimizer Script output, so that its easier
to edit it by hand :)
