Package: gthumb
Version: 3:2.11.3-2
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss

On loading gthumb today it clearly had undergone a major (gnome 2.30 I guess)
upgrade. It has lost (in the GUI) *all* catalog and comment
information...that's my carefully entered meta-data on perhaps 5,000+ photos
dating back to 2004 or earlier.

I have found the data unharmed in ~/.gnome2/gthumb/collections and
~/<PATH_TO_PHOTO_IMPORT_DIR>/.comments. However, I see no way to ask gthumb to
continue to use this information.

As such I consider this a grave bug as it causes (at the user interface level)
complete data loss. It is not evident at the moment whether or not gthumb can
be convinced to continue to use the existing metadata - if not, I would
reclassify as critical.

Any long time user of gthumb is going to be deeply frustrated by such a change,
occuring without warning and without remedy apart from (presumbably) a
downgrade.
