Description Albrecht Kleinfeld 2016-05-04 08:19:14 UTC 
my System: Ubuntu 16.04
my program: shotwell 0.22.0

Everytime I try to upload fotos including metadatas like location, camera and other stuff shotwell immediatly crashes to desktop.
When uploading of metadatas is disabled all things run without problems.

Installing the newer version of shotwell (0.23) fails because there is no compatible libgphoto on my system found although it is installed.

0.23 for 16.04 is available at https://launchpad.net/~yg-jensge/+archive/ubuntu/shotwell/+packages (new "official" ppa)

This asserts in exiv2 - can you share the original foto?

Here the requested information: shotwell.log while running under SHOTWELL_DEBUG=1, the gdb bt with debug symbols installed, and the image that is mentioned in the gdb log for a problem.

Comment 11 Norbert Preining 2016-05-15 11:44:49 UTC 
One more comment - I now got shotwell to work through my 50k picture library, and it stumbled in *all* instances over photos named "CIMG....JPG" (Casio).

I also tested some of the affected images with the exiv2 pr command, without any problems.
Comment 12 Alan Pater 2016-05-15 11:53:37 UTC 
Sounds like http://dev.exiv2.org/issues/1106
Comment 13 Norbert Preining 2016-05-15 12:17:11 UTC 
Rebuilding exiv2 in Debian with the 3889 and 3890 svn changes and rechecking ...
Comment 14 Norbert Preining 2016-05-15 12:30:22 UTC 
Looks much better. I will prepare a NMU for Debian with the patch for Casio included.
Comment 15 Jens Georg 2016-05-15 13:06:40 UTC 
yep, same here. Thanks Alan!
Comment 16 Jens Georg 2016-05-15 13:07:25 UTC 
I will add the fixes to the PPA as well
