Scott,
It's likely it's importing and the progress bar is hung (that's what I
saw). Can you do "export SHOTWELL_LOG=1" and watch
~/.cache/shotwell/shotwell.log during import? If you're continually
seeing it talk about new photos then it's probably not hung (but the bar
may be).
To share your backtrace you can upload to dropbox and get a link or
email shotwell@yorba.

Hi all,
My 0.13.1 install from Yorba PPA running on Ubuntu 12.04LTS seems to
hang on import of anything. What will happen is it will try to get
the photo's off the SD Card, it will get some of the thumbnails, but
will freeze half way through. The progress bar will stop moving and
no more thumbnails will appear. Whats more, when i try to exit, the
process will not actually quit, until i use either top or
gnome-system-monitor to kill it manually. I have done a full
backport, but as i have absolutely no idea what i am looking at, i
cant tell if it is helpful or not. I also believe that this list
doesnt allow attachments, is there somewhere i could e-mil them to? Is
anyone else experiencing this?
On a possibly unrelated note, the library is on an external USB, with
the database in my home directory. The problem is that i accidentally
opened shotwell the other day not knowing that the external hdd had
not been mounted correctly, and as a result the entire library has now
been shown to be missing, and no matter how long I wait, the library
will not update itself. Is there a way to force shotwell to attempt
to locate these? Or could there be in a future release? Normally, a
workaround i find is to re-import (this does happen occasionally if i
accidentally insert the SD card before the hdd), but with all imports
hanging i cannot get my photos to refresh themselves...
Thanks,
Scott.
