When using Tools -> Stitch images into panorama from Digikam, it will systematically crash if the selected files contain a semicolon (':') in their name. The message given is : Error Cannot run make make: *** No rule to make target `<path>-preview.jpg', needed by `preview0000.tif'. Stop. When I encountered this problem, I though : this looks like make can not find the target... My files contain ':' which is used after make target names. I renamed my files and it worked fine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have images with ':' in their file name 2. Tools -> Stitch images into panorama from Digikam 3. Click on the Next button until you reach an error (4 clicks) Actual Results: Error message
Panorama is using Hugin, and Hugin doesn't support file names containing the following characters: :=;:%*?<>|"\~ I will try to code a workaround, by, for example, copying the input files to a temporary directory with a name following the requirements of Hugin. This will certainly not be included in Kipi 3.3.0 though (maybe 3.4.0).
Benjamin, Did you code the patch for this file ? Gilles
Unfortunately, no. I have read however, that the Hugin project is working on this and a future version will not suffer from this limitation.
I just tested this in DK 4.11.0 with file names like "2012-12-18T12:05:45.jpg" "2012-12-18T12:05:47.jpg" and it worked without any issue.
