I fixed that recently. It takes filenames from (in order of
precedence):

* Command line. It would process only as many files as specified=20

* i-line.

* o-line.

The code that PTmender uses to parse i and o lines is the same as
PTstitcher (unless it has a bug). It is not pretty, but it works. See
(in tools/PTmender.c)

main()  --from the command line

panoMenderImageFileNamesReadFromScript(fullPath **ptrImageFileNames,
   fullPath *scriptFileName) -- from script


 Pablo> hugin treats "i" and "o" lines the same. So the question is

 Pablo> The o lines are only used for output, and cannot contain linked v=

se the linked variables are essential.

 Pablo> I'm not sure what problem would occur if PTmender and other tools=
 would also accept "i" lines instead of only o lines ("o" lines overridin=
g the "i" lines). Any ideas?

PTmender will read the filenames from the 'i' lines and use the 'o'
lines for the generation of the pano in the same order as they appear
(first i-line uses first o-line).
