Hello
 
I'm making many panoramas with a 3 fisheye circular photos, so the only steps I need to do are:
- load 3 pictures,
- press automatic stitch,
- press automatic align panorama,
- press equalize all images,
- save project,
- render,
 
I was trying to put three images to the project made with other complet of photos and in some cases it's enough, but in other cases I get stitching errors, bad horizon or bad equalization.  
 
So, is there a way to batch these actions in stitcher? Or call a program file with some parameters (photo type, photos names/directory, actions to do, output project, render options)

Hi myksa!
 
Perhaps you are asking Stitcher to do too much?
 
If you have shot your images properly you should only need to load, stitch, and render. Everything else is up for grabs - Auto Align and Equalize are automated processes.
 
The quality and accuracy of the source images are key.
 
As they used to say in the '60s: "Acid indigestion? Check your source."

Yes, I'm taking shots properly, and yes, I "only" need to load, stitch and render. But this "only" is the case - when I want to make 10 panoramas it's ok, 50 - it's ok too, but when I have to make 500 or 1000 panoramas this gets a long, incredibly boring, human-automatic unnecessary job  
 
It looks like this:
load, automatic stitch, auto-align, equalize, save.....
load, automatic stitch, auto-align, equalize, save.....
load, automatic stitch, auto-align, equalize, save.....
load, automatic stitch, auto-align, equalize, save.....
load, automatic stitch, auto-align, equalize, save.....
load, automatic stitch, auto-align, equalize, save.....
load, automatic stitch, auto-align, equalize, save.....x1000
 
So I only wonder if there is or could be a way to fully automaticly load, stitch, align and equalize 1000 panos.  
 
Render queue can be made with a simple text file - you can open a rzsq file, write 1000 lines like:  
 
C:\project_name_001.rzs,C:\job_to_do.rzs
C:\project_name_002.rzs,C:\job_to_do.rzs
x1000
 
and stitcher is working whole day, but alone. So I think I'm not asking too much, because this monkey manual job could be batched with similar file:
 
<job>
 <photo src="C:\pano001\DSC0001.jpg"/>
 <photo src="C:\pano001\DSC0002.jpg"/>
 <photo src="C:\pano001\DSC0003.jpg"/>
 <action name="autoStitch" />
 <action name="autoAlign" />
 <action name="equalize" />
 <action name="save" path="C:\pano001\pano001.rzs" />
</job>
<job></job>x1000
 
It would be a great time saving feature.

The short answer is at the moment you can't do what you want to do. But what you can do is:
 
1: Load
2: Stitch
3: Align
4: Save Stitcher Project
5: Run render queue to batch render the projects
 
Halfway house I know but this might work for you.

Hi myksa!
 
Based on your first post re: stitching errors is what I responded to.
 
Assuming your stitching "ducks are in a row" vis-a-vis a total automated stitching... your idea is a valuable one that has been requested before, and it would seem to be an easy feature to implement.
 
Let's put this on our wish list for v6.0

Wouldn't it be possible to use templates and scripts inside SU?

You can use templates but there's no way at present to combine templates and the render queue together into a single load-stitch-render sequence that can be batched.  
 
Batch processing is to me a priority feature request.
