Good afternoon, one and all, My name is Clint, and I'm one of the developers currently working on Shotwell.
Recently, we've had a small-but-increasing number of reports that, on occasion, users with tagged, externally-edited images can encounter a crash (please see http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/5754 or http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/5992) with an error message of: A fatal error occurred when accessing Shotwell's library. Shotwell cannot continue. (TagTable.add) [19] - column name is not unique Unfortunately, although it does seem to have affected an alarming number of users, we've never been able to reproduce it here, and, as such, haven't been able to determine a cause or, more importantly, a proper fix. With this in mind, I'd like to ask all of you the following: 1) Have you ever seen this, and if so, how often? Did it stop occurring after exiting and re-running the application? 2) If you can recall, what did you do prior to this? Did it involve an external edit or any tag manipulation of your image library from within another application? 3) If you're seeing this crash reliably and are comfortable with building things from source, can you try cloning the latest Shotwell tree from our git repository, applying http://redmine.yorba.org/attachments/1508/5754-and-5992.patch and rebuilding? (A full discussion of what this patch does is available at http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/5992.) Does it help at all? Thank you in advance, -Clint _______________________________________________ Shotwell mailing list [email protected] http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell
