Season of Usability (SoU)
Along with mentors Roman Bednarik, Giuseppe Rota, and Alexandre Prokoudine, Vladimir Smida will optimise workflows and improve the usability of different tools in Qtpfsgui, an HDR imaging application. Vladimir is currently studying Computer Graphics at the Brno University of Technology (Czech Republic).
Google, one of the lead sponsors, has recently honoured SoU's work in their Open Source blog.
On behalf of the mentors, the packagers, the contributors, and the community we are very pleased to welcome Vladimir, and to announce that is currently looking into the current tone mapping workflow.

Bux-fixing
The project needs help figuring out how to fix a bug introduced in the 1.9.2 version, so if you know a little bit of Qt and C/C++ and would like to help you can find more info here.
On a unrelated note, we have received an handful of applicants for the Season of Usability project, and a final candidate should be announced soon.

Qtpfsgui 1.9.2:
A new version is out, hopefully this will fix the several "filename encoding" bugs that afflict the windows version.
Noteworthy are also the modifications to the Mantiuk algorithm by Ed Brambley (speed improvement and changed behavior) and a graphical widget that enables the user to change the language.

Season of Usability:
Qtpfsgui participates at the 2008 edition of season of Usability.
Season of Usability is a series of sponsored student projects to encourage students of usability, user-interface design, and interaction design to get involved with Free/Libre/Open-Source Software (FLOSS) projects.
So if you feel like Qtpfsgui usability can be improved you can read more here.

New version (1.9.1):
Qtpfsgui 1.9.1 has been released. This is a small update with these main features/bugfixes:

• Fixed the align_image_stack "missing prefix" bug
• Users can now save the preview of a HDR
• Added hdr panoramic functionality (projections).
• Fixed bug in exif code leading to crash when having utf8 characters in the path and/or filename.

(read the Changelog or the README file for more details)

German translation of the manual:
Thomas Martin has provided a German translation of Qtpfsgui's manual, thank you Thomas!

New version (1.9.0):
After a long time, here's the new version of Qtpfsgui: 1.9.0.
Here's a list of the main new features:

• Interactive anti ghosting.
• Hdr creation wizard revisited (increased usability).
• Added manual anti-ghosting feature (for LDRs only)
• Fixed Mantiuk tone mapper glitch
• Removed integrated dcraw implementation: now using the external executable (this removes the libjpeg direct dependency)
• Fixed durand02 bug (range=0)
• Added commandline interface
• Clicking on the tone mapper progress bar in the interactive tone mapping dialog will terminate the tone mapping process

Since this release contains quite some changes, it's possible for the code to be slightly unstable. This means that the previous version will still be available and treated as the "stable" branch, see download below.
A Paypal Donation button has also been added to the page:

Setup.exe for 1.8.12:
Daniel Kaneider has produced a setup.exe (easier for windows users) Qtpfsgui 1.8.12, you can get the file here. You can also report bugs and/or improvements to Daniel.

Ok, we've been quite for some time now, but if all goes well the next version will be released on Dec 9th.
