Hi Josep,
We're sorry you're encountering import problems. Looking at what you
wrote about your setup, it seems like you should have more than enough
memory available for the import to succeed, so this is likely a
Shotwell bug. (I'm assuming the message in question wasn't from the
OOM killer, which, as far as I know, doesn't display a popup).
Can you try the following:
1) Bring up two command shells, and in one of them, type
"top"
and press Enter.
1) In the other shell, type
"gdb shotwell"
...and press Enter.
2) At the "(gdb)" prompt, type "run".
3) Attempt the F-Spot import again, and carefully observe the shell
running 'top'. (Shotwell will most likely be using a considerable
amount of memory at this point, but shouldn't be able to use it all.)
4) If Shotwell crashes again, note the memory usage in the 'top'
shell, and type "backtrace" in the 'gdb' shell, and email the text
that appears after this to myself and the list.
Hopefully, assuming the machine really isn't out of memory, this will
tell us what Shotwell was doing right before it crashed, and may help
us fix the problem or provide a workaround.
As for posting error messages in Catalan, please feel free to - the
list is read around the world, so there may be other Catalan speakers
present, and, at least in print, Catalan is similar enough to other
Romance languages that we'll be able to figure it out.
Cheers,
-c
