Thanks Adam, I also attach the most recent log, maybe it might help. By the way, looks like "*_modified" files cause this behaviour. In the log I see a lot of "timer restarted" events, like this:
L 30918 2012-04-08 15:53:22 [DBG] Photo.vala:3144: pipeline being run against [11713] /home/dk/Pictures/Photos/2011/08/02/dsc05782.jpg (/home/dk/Pictures/Photos/2011/08/02/dsc05782_modified.jpg), timer restarted. Can it be caused by file system notification on file change? ** Attachment added: "shotwell.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shotwell/+bug/894553/+attachment/3028493/+files/shotwell.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to shotwell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/894553 Title: "Writing metadata to files..." never finishes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shotwell/+bug/894553/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
