What ever else a Mac might be, its' user interfaces are normally pleasing to
the eye. Rob, have you looked at the Aqua UI guidelines?

libpano is not the problem here. As far as I am aware, PTStitcher only accepts
a limited number of options, even if the the backend (libpano) can handle more.

Currently we have a number of presets, but the idea of being able to save and
then use "my saved setting" is a nice one I think. The other option might be a
"default" pto project that is loaded, although this would require more
substantial changes.
