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

 

This bug has appeared for me in just the past week.  I upgraded to
Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 several months ago and have used Shotwell a few
times.  I was able to click "edit with external editor" without Shotwell
closing... at first.

Title:
  Crash on edit with external editor, results in corrupt image database
  entry

Status in Shotwell:
  Unknown
Status in shotwell package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in shotwell source package in Xenial:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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 (Shotwell
  0.22.0-Ubuntu5). Previous Shotwell version in Vivid was fine.
