[Robie Basak]

Hello R, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gthumb into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gthumb/3:3.3.1.is.3.2.7-0ubuntu1.1
in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-trusty to verification-done-trusty. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-trusty. In either case, details of your
testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

+ [Original Report]
  If I right click on an "image file" in caja, select "open with", then 
"gthumb" :
  In Linux Mint 13 Mate 32-bit I could open/launch multiple instances of gthumb 
from caja
  In Linux Mint 17 Mate 32-bit I can only launch a single instance of gthumb - 
it seems to start, then nothing
  In Linux Mint 17 Mate 32-bit I found I could open multiple instances of 
gthumb only from the gthumb file menu, select "New WIndow".
  Worked in 13, not in 17 - could not find a preference (like I describe below 
for a similar problem with VLC Player) to solve this problem.
  
  Note: found a similar problem with VLC Player, but it turned out a
  difference in default preference setting in VLC from 13 to 17, making
  that VLC preference change (preferences/interface settings/playlist and
  instances/use only one instance when stated from file manager) solved
  the problem.

[Impact]

The bug prevents users from launching a second instance of gthumb.

This feature is sometimes useful, for example, when opening a few images
in a row from a file manager - it might open a new instance of gthumb.

In addition, second instance fails to run without any messages (unless
you run it from terminal), which is confusing to the users.

The fix had been already applied upstream a few years ago, and it would be nice 
to backport it to Trusty.
The debdiff which is attached to this report contains the backported patch.

[Test Case]

Steps to reproduce:

- launch one instance of gthumb from terminal: gthumb &
- try launching a second instance: gthumb

Expected result:

- second instance would open normally

What really happens:

- second instance shows error message and quits immediately:

GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NotSupported: Application does
not handle command line arguments

[Regression Potential]

The fix had been applied upstream a few years ago, so it had been tested
since then.

It was also tested by Utopic/Vivid/Wily users as it was included in
gthumb 3.2.8 in these releases.

I consider the regression potential to be low here.

Yeah... sorry. I was being well over the top. gthumb is the best of the bunch.
Here is a solution for Mint 17 allowing multiple instances

I couldn't believe the crop tool is only available from that space-
hogging palette icon/side bar. What a joke.

Hey  - i just tried "shotwell". Not too bad :)

Your crude and insulting language is a disservice to those who have

Yah - this is very annoying.
Gthumb is the most usable viewer imho, but it has some amazingly terrible 
design choices.
Sadly, free software is quite often sh*t.
