[Bug 1511914] [NEW] Crash on edit with external editor, results in corrupt image database entry

 

Public bug reported:

Select "edit with external editor". The image opens in Gimp, but
Shotwell crashes. Save the image, open shotwell (order doesn't matter).

* The image thumbnail doesn't change proportions to the edited image,
resulting in squashed image. And rotated images lose their rotation
information on screen. The underlying edited image is unaffected. This
happens only with images edited with the crash above; previous images
are fine.

* I am unable to permanently change associated data such as the
grade/stars. Once I quite Shotwell those changes are gone. Again, this
affects only images edited as above.

* This happened with the update to Wily Werewolf. Previous Shotwell
version was fine.

** Affects: shotwell (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Attachment added: "Left side: the edited image as shown in the viewer. On the right, the same edited image as seen in Shotwell"
