So it turns out that this is only reproducible when I'm running "low" on memory. I rather optimistically run my 8Gb laptop without swap and while trying to reproduce this again tonight I noticed that at the point of the crash, the whole machine grinds to a halt and I got some OOM killer spew in dmesg. I killed off some memory hogs (2x 2Gb firefox etc.), and reran the shotwell export and it completed successfully.
So sorry I guess this is arguably PEBKAC. Though, I'm only trying to export 71 photos which are 127Mb of data when in JPEG format so I'm a little surprised shotwell needs as much memory as it apparently does. If that's not a known issue, I may try and re-run this monitoring the shotwell process to see it's peak memory usage during the export. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1191585 Title: Crash when exporting photos to a directory To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shotwell/+bug/1191585/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
