OK if you don't miss drag and drop, and wouldn't like auto rotate of
images
before/after stitching it may be OK for you. Personally, I'm annoyed by
the
way it doesn't remember which folder you were last at, so you have to
re-navigate to your images each time. I'm not really complaining, it is
left
deliberately clunky because users will pay for a more refined version.
That
way, the developers get their money.
