F-spot no longer works

[John Vivirito]

Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

A few days ago my screen-savers worked great, now i find that F-spot screen saver no longer works, they are in my favorites so it should work. I don't know if this applies but i opened f-spot to check on tags but i will post it here anyway. It seems that a lot if not all work as expected. i haven't tried the Webcollage screen saver, that has been another one that has given me issues.

This happens with ALL screen savers still. added gnome-screensaver

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

With new install of 10.04 and an upgrade to 10.10 F-spot crashes as it was before when trying to import pictures. I will run apport-collect to gather new info.

Here is the output from running f-spot during import

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

Upon starting F-spot just now i get the following:
"F-spot Encountered a Fatal Error"
"Filename path must be absolute"

Here is the output it gives in the fatal error box:

The above post happened once i restart it and it didn't show the fatal error yet. When it popped up i didn't do anything but start F-spot.

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

after choosing to import than pick from file than choose folder and click import it gets to about picture 20 and closes/crashes.

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

It seems the fatal error occurred when using the icon, starting from menu it doesn't give the fatal error but still crashes.

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

The screen-saver works assuming you can get F-spot to import photos. It seems i have 24 imported out of >150

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

the folder i am trying to add 103 the other folders i will test once i can get it to stop crashing on this folder.
Any ideas or questions let me know

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

This seems to been fixed
