I suspect that this problem has been fixed in f-spot in experimental*. Could you try and upgrade to this version and see if you can reproduce it there?Thanks for the suggestion. I tried to upgrade to this version, but rapidly found myself in dependency hell, and would have had to upgrade major chunks of my system to get it installed.
Ah yes, I didn't take this into account. I've built a little backport of f-spot from experimental to squeeze/amd64 which I believe you are running. If you trust my deb, you can get it from: http://people.ubuntu.com/~laney/f-spot_0.7.2-1_amd64.deb md5sum 3f64e304de2c406f97b341616db9ab66 f-spot_0.7.2-1_amd64.deb sha1sum 895d2a8dfbd428d7f35b68c494ee77c9a142faad f-spot_0.7.2-1_amd64.deb It'd be nice if you could try this.
Note that the 0.7 series will upgrade your database in a backwards-incompatible way, so you may wish to back your ~/.config/f-spot/ directory up before launching the new version, in case you wish to revert back to 0.6.x.As F-spot has never worked for me, I tried deleting the whole of the ~/.config/f-spot directory and starting again, but it still crashes immediately you point it an import directory (which is the first thing it asks you to do when you start it for the first time). How does anyone ever get past this point?
While yes, with the 0.6.x series, I did experience crashes on import, I never came across anything as bad as this. Sorry for your bad experience. Looking at your trace, I wonder if there's a particular image in your import directory that is causing this problem. Maybe you could also try with 0.6.x on a new user account? Cheers, Iain
