Can you run Shotwell from the console window like so: $ SHOTWELL_LOG=1 shotwell
Then choose Open with External Editor. First, cut-and-paste the output from the console window (if any) and add it to this ticket. Second, please upload to this ticket this file: ~/.cache/shotwell/shotwell.log Either might give us a clue what's going on here. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/692757 Title: "Open with external editor" fails with "access denied" error -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
