Comment 1 Michael Chudobiak 2007-04-04 11:39:02 UTC

Can you provide the image that triggered this crash (attach it to this report, or email it to mjc@avtechpulse.com)?

- Mike

Comment 2 Michael Chudobiak 2007-04-04 12:58:13 UTC

Thank you for the sample photo.

It works OK on my systems, which have libexif 0.6.13 installed. What version of libexif do you have?

The image has an invalid "flash" exif tag value. That might cause earlier versions of libexif to crash. (It is libexif that is crashing, rather than gThumb.)

- Mike

Comment 3 James Jones 2007-04-04 14:41:22 UTC

I'm using Ubuntu Edgy Eft; searching in synaptic shows I have version 0.6.13-4 of libexif12 installed, which includes the file /usr/lib/libexif.so.12.0.1, so I may well be out of date.

Comment 4 Michael Chudobiak 2007-04-04 14:55:31 UTC

Hmm... that looks up to data (0.6.13); I wonder why it doesn't crash on my system.

Could you install the gthumb-dbgsym and libexif12-dbgsym packages on your system and reproduce the crash? These "debug symbol" packages will allow a much more detailed backtrace to be generated, showing variable values, etc.

- Mike
