F-spot crash on changing tag icon

[Shmattie]

Binary package hint: f-spot

Ubuntu 7.10
F-Spot 0.4.0

Fspot crashes consistently when I try to change the tag icon to a certain image. I am not able to change any tag icons. I don't know what other information to include so please request anything else that is needed.

Command line output

Does it happen on every tag? Or only with certain images?

What happens if you click on the image before pressing OK?

[Martijn Bastiaan (hmb1)]

Only the first time it doesn't happen (if F-spot automatically generates a picture). But if you want to make your custom picture it happens. On every tag yes.

> What happens if you click on the image before pressing OK?
It also crashes

[Christian Jung (campino2k)]

Got that one, too

[Maxxer (lorenzo-milesi)]

if anyone wants to try, I believe this will fix.

[Martijn Bastiaan (hmb1)]

How to patch?

[Maxxer (lorenzo-milesi)]

you will need to apt-get source f-spot, patch it, repackage and reinstall.
I believe you can find a lot of resources by making a search.
If you're testing on your real f-spot db I recommend you to backup ~/.gnome2/f-spot/photos.db somewhere before starting (shouldn't be harmful, but who knows? ;) ).

Upstream, this bug was marked as a duplicate of a bug fixed in 0.4.1. As 0.4.1 is now in Hardy, I'm closing it.

[Martin Schwenke (martin-meltin)]

For anyone stuck on gutsy, I've applied the above patch and built a version of the package in my PPA:

  https://launchpad.net/~martin-meltin/+archive

I've tested the i386 version and it definitely fixes the problem.
