[A.K.Karthikeyan]

Binary package hint: shotwell

Hello People,

It was the first time I started shotwell.It asked me weather I could import photos from F-spot, I selected the option and it crashed after importing photos. Please see the attached bug report.

I don't know if it's the same issue as AKK reports, but I notice that when I try to import from f-spot, shotwell consumes a huge amount of memory. I have about 20K images in f-spot, and shotwell is now about one third of the way through. Top reports:

  10851 ketil 25 5 1541m 1.0g 8092 S 115 34.0 26:40.01 shotwell

OK, this debugging thing looks bit complex. Give me some time to study it
and do it.

@Ketil: This bug is known, and is fixed in trunk. See the (new and incomplete) Shotwell FAQ at http://trac.yorba.org/wiki/Shotwell/FAQ .

@A.K.Karthikeyan: You could alternatively follow the backtrace instructions in the Shotwell FAQ at http://trac.yorba.org/wiki/Shotwell/FAQ . You may find these easier to use.

shotwell 0.8.1 is now in Natty which fixes this issue
