I’m using Linux Mint with Hugin, and Macrofusion launches, but when I try to add photos, nothing happens after I click the Add button. Is this a known compatibility issue, and is there a fix?

That is, because some of the libraries macro fusion depends on changed.

To fix it, open the python file macrofusion.py, go to line 621 and change Image.fromstring(... to Image.frombytes(.... If all the neccesary other libraries are correctly installed, it should work now.

Yes. Based on the community answer, this is likely caused by a library/API change that Macrofusion depends on. A reported fix is to edit the macrofusion.py file and update the image-loading call:

  • Find the line using Image.fromstring(...)
  • Change it to Image.frombytes(...)

After saving the file, try launching Macrofusion again and adding your photos. This should resolve the issue if the rest of the required libraries are installed correctly.

Because this is a software compatibility problem on Linux rather than a camera-setting issue, it’s worth also confirming that your Python imaging libraries are properly installed and up to date.
