Bug Description
I fresh-installed 14.04 on my System 76 the other day and Shotwell worked fine in the beginning, uploading all of my pictures from (including tags and everything from the previous iteration). Now, suddenly, when I open Shotwell, the progress bar shows for a second, checking my photo directory, then opens perfectly for about 5-10 seconds. I'm able to browse and see my photos, no problem, but then the program closes suddenly with no crash report. I have about 60GB of photos, so perhaps my folder is too large? Everything seems to be working fine until it closes.

I did a complete removal and re-install of shotwell and discovered that the crash happens during import. I managed to turn off the auto-import function before the program closed and now it doesn't crash anymore. When I try to do a fresh import from my Pictures folder, it crashes again. It's something to do with the importing, if that helps. I read other bugs on here and noticed some mentioning the spike in memory usage when scanning RAW files. Hope that helps.
