CLI interface to Hugin Batch processor

## NAME

PTBatcher - CLI interface to Hugin Batch processor

## SYNOPSIS

**PTBatcher** \[options\] -a *input.pto*

## DESCRIPTION

**PTBatcher** Queues and processes stitching projects.  Functionality is similar to the the GUI Hugin Batch Processor.  The default action with the **-a** parameter is to add the specified project to the stitching queue and exit.
