some minor GUI ideas

I enjoy the functionality of hugin very much, it's a great piece of software!
Some thoughts that have come to my mind and which would be IMHO minor
improvements -– call them wishes, but I am not in the position to
wish...

* sort the controlpoints table by distance by default
* add a default name for the pano if I stitch it. it could be eg the
same name which is proposed when I save the project.
* in the Images tab add the short cut "Crtl+A" to select all images.
* in the control points tab change the colors from simply red&green to
dark/light red/green depending on the quality
* add a matix of fitting quality of images: the image in column i fits
to image in row j with "quality" a_ij. set a_ij to zero/grey if the do
not have control points in common. the red entries in this matrix are
the places when I probably should improve by adding ctrl pts hand
* in the crop tool of the fast preview add this functionality:
doubleclick (left) sets the left (/upper/right/lower) crop side to the
leftmost "black" pixel, ie everything left from this line has at least
one colored pixel. a right doubleclick sets it such that there is at
least one colored pixel to the right and none to the left.
* set jpeg as default output format for panoramas, not tif
* give my some errormessage (for greenhorn-users like me) if there was
not enough disk space during stitiching and so it broke up
* change the image-load behavior: if I click cancel when there is no
exif data, the loading is canceled, not only the exif reading. and if
I say "no idea", hugin optimizes of the hofv as well. see
http://groups.google.at/group/hugin-ptx/browse_frm/thread/65630defbe53c520
* let me choose the hfov somewhat more than 360°: then it will be
obvious that it's really the "full circle", like you show it on the
hugin website on this topband of background images above the menu bar.
I know I can do this in GIMP or anywhere else, but changing an angle
in hugin is easier ;)

just some quick ideas for a john-doe-user...

Thanks again for this great software,
Thomas
