simply no longer opens/works

[DarkSpiritAK47]

simply no longer opens... everything else on freya is working for me. this program just stopped. it is still on my dock but when i click it nothing happens. also it is gone when i search for it in the applications... any help would rock! thankx

ohhhhh i just managed to download a .deb of photos... it must still be on my machine because it says a newer version already exists on my computer... so idk? weird. still i click and i click and nothing shows up... thankx again for any help. i sincerely appreciate it

IDK HOW TO MARK THIS AS FIXED but its the weirdest thing i typed in shotwell (instead of photos) into the applications and it popped right up. hit enter and bam i was in photos. it now works on my dock as well............... still this had to be a minor bug but whatever its working. thankx all
