Enhancement: Pause and allow user to provide feedback when images are too similar #6

When You use the built-in "Merge To HDR" Script, and it detects that the images are too similar, it prompts you to adjust your settings (Exposure, ISO, etc). When this Batch HDR script runs into this scenario, it throws an unrelated error and exits at whatever picture it is working on with the "Check the Number of Files" Error. Given that integrating a predefined set of values into the form wouldn't be a good approach here, as it may vary each time this arises, I would suggest tweaking the script to catch that error and allow the user to answer provide the adjustments on the fly per photo.

I don't understand. How does one adjust exposure or ISO of a photo that is already taken? If the photos in the bracket are too similar, there's no reason to HDR merge them in the first place (as there will be little to no DR gained). The best the script could do is to simply skip that bracket and continue on. That's if it's actually even possible to detect and respond to this error from a script (I have no idea, but probably not).
