Public bug reported:
I needed some space and deleted $HOME/.cache/shotwell which took
hundreds of MB. The next time I started shotwell, it proceeded to
regenerate thumbnails of all images. When exiting shotwell, the GUI
disappears, but the process keeps running at 100% for ages (now 30
minutes later).
Before exiting shotwell I also tried importing pictures from some cameras. The
first import, from an SD card plugged into my laptop's SD card reader, worked
fine. When I next tried to import from another camera that was connected with
USB, Shotwell just says
"Starting import, please wait..."
and
"Fetching photo information"
for a long time (probably 45 minutes already). There were 150 images on
the camera, so this should be done already.
This is the point where shotwell won't go away properly - the process
remains running despite clicking the X in the top corner, and when I
restart shotwell, it seems to be in the exact same state as when I
clicked the X.
