Full of confidence, I shut Shotwell down and rebooted Ubuntu - the crashes came back. Starting up my iMac this morning, I had another go, and here’s what happened (I started it using the command-line “date >> crash.log;shotwell 2>>crash.log;date >> crash.log”).

I have a suspicion that the problem is with the photo.db database - is there a utility or a procedure which would allow me to check its integrity? I have spent many tens of hours on my Shotwell library, and am prepared to spend many more if necessary, to continue to use it.
