Pat,

You probably saw my comment on the bug but I had no problems importing and
viewing the picture you attached to the bug. When you find a picture like
this that causes F-Spot to crash, is it reproducible every time with a fresh
database (running F-spot with basedir/photodir parameters using some clean
location)?


Thanks,


Tim
