Hi Adam I haven't retried because I just "manually" imported my photos into Shotwell, and don't want to screw anything up with an F-Spot import!
Whatever I did also has caused problems with F-Spot - hence why I migrated to Shotwell. (F-Spot crashes as soon as I click one of the problem pictures). What I think happened is this: I had some photos which were digitised from film onto CD a few years back by a high street chemist. I originally uploaded these pictures to Windows. Recently I tried to import them into F-Spot (from Ubuntu) - although I can't remember exactly, I'm sure I moved them from my Windows partition to my Linux partition, and then imported them to F-Spot. This caused F-Spot to crash and I haven't been able to recover from it. In F-Spot, the thumbnails don't appear, though if you click on the space where the thumbnail should be, then F-Spot crashes. I filed an F-Spot bug: (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634856) I switched to Shotwell, then tried the "import from F-Spot function" - which caused the issue. The pictures are on my ext4 home partition, eg: -r-xr-xr-x 1 matthew matthew 462248 2010-11-11 19:18 cnv00036.jpg My .shotwell dir is also under /home/matthew on my Linux partition. I can view the files normally via Nautilus, and I can view files in /media/windows also. I have not directly deleted from .shotwell - although I will have deleted files via SW itself. FWIW this is no longer an issue for me as I manually imported my photos and retagged - though I'm happy to do more digging for you if you want to try to get the bug fixed. I think if you were to import the photo I sent to Jim into F-Spot, to see if that crashed, then you might be able to reproduce it in Shotwell.
