Description yktooo 2014-11-01 16:25:43 UTC 
Apparently during the metadata update, right upon the start, the app freezes and can only be killed.

The console show a series of following messages:

L 5717 2014-11-01 17:22:35 [CRT] Offset of directory Sony1, entry 0x2001 is out of bounds: Offset = 0x0032005e; truncating the entry

L 5717 2014-11-01 17:22:35 [CRT] Offset of directory Sony1, entry 0x2001 is out of bounds: Offset = 0x0032005e; truncating the entry

L 5717 2014-11-01 17:22:35 [CRT] Offset of directory Sony1, entry 0x2001 is out of bounds: Offset = 0x0031005e; truncating the entry


Shotwell 0.20.2, Ubuntu 14.10 Utopic, amd64.

This didn't seem to happen before the update to Utopic.

Can you run Shotwell like this from the console:

$ gdb shotwell

Type "r" at the (gdb) prompt to start it.

When Shotwell freezes, return to the console and type Ctrl+C then:

(gdb) thread apply all backtrace

Please copy and paste that output to this ticket.

I had to roll back to 0.20.1 (available in Utopic's repository) and the freeze was gone, can't reproduce it anymore. Maybe it was some library mismatch. Let's close it for now.
