Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Same for me under saucy with 3.0.1-1ubuntu6~saucy1 - importing process scans files for a bit and then crashes.

Same looking report in Fedora here too: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1013858

I just had this crash while importing (on the point of a file dialog opening), in Trusty daily from March 13th.

Importing from what used to be an iTunes library from a network location.

Got this crash today - either the fix is no in the actual release or it is not fixed!

Version: 3.0.2-0ubuntu2

[LAZA (laza74)]

Status?

I can confirm this bug TODAY in Trusty 64 bit and it is NOT FIXED!

Or should i open up a new bug report?
