f-spot crashes on tif file import

[Martin Canning]

Binary package hint: f-spot

I'm running 7.10 and each time I try to import tif files f-spot freezes - mostly after importing 3 files from a particular group.
I do not have this problem importing jpg files
This may be similar to Bug #116238 which was closed due to lack of information
I can supply a Backtrace file, however, when the trace is running F-Spot crashes before any files are imported, so it is not an exact replica of the problem I see

Additional information: The crash only happens with certain tif files - importing other tif files generates the error "Input String was not in correct format". All of the files have been generated with a Nikonscan scanner, but with different scanning software applications. This problem did not manifest itself with previous versions of F-Spot

I can confirm this bug. Importing tif files created by a Nikon Coolscan 5000 produces the error message "Input String was not in correct format". I get it for all tif files I try to import.

F-sport doesn't crash, though, it just won't import the files.

Just tried importing a random 5MB tif from net, and it imports fine. Wonder if the size of my tifs are a problem - they're 50MB (thought the error message doesn't seem to suggest that).

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, your crash report is either missing or challenging to deal with as a ".crash" file. Please follow these instuctions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retracer.

If you are using Ubuntu with the Gnome desktop environment - launch nautilus and navigate to your /var/crash directory and double click on the crash report you wish to submit.

I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more efficiently. Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.
