How many "Skipping hidden files" messages are you seeing? More to the
point, do they keep appearing or do they eventually stop?
It's possible this is a database issue, but I have a suspicion this is
the startup process that checks to verify your photo files are in the
places the database last saw them. What I don't know is why this is
continuing without stopping. Do you have metadata writing turned on?
Where are your photos located? Are they on your local disk, or are
they on a USB drive, network storage, etc.?
There is no more verbose logging. Everything should be written to the
log file.

This is what I see in the log file:
L 16444 2014-09-19 12:03:19 [MSG] main.vala:385: Shotwell Photo
Manager 0.18.0
L 16444 2014-09-19 12:03:19 [MSG] main.vala:43: Verifying database ...
L 16444 2014-09-19 12:03:22 [WRN] DirectoryMonitor.vala:916: Skipping
hidden file/directory /home/malsburg/Pictures/.DS_Store
And then many more of the "Skipping hidden file" warnings. But I
guess
these should be ok.
Is is possible that the database is messed up? Can I just delete it
and
have it rebuilt? If yes, where do I find it.
Is there another way to extract information from the shotwell
process. "shotwell --help" doesn't show a verbose flag.
Thank you!

I don't recall any reported bug similar to this. It would probably
help to look in the Shotwell log file
(~/.cache/shotwell/shotwell.log)
and see if there's anything suspicious there.

Hi list,
I'm a happy Shotwell user with a photo library containing around
3000
photos that I took over the last two years. I really like
Shotwell's
simplicity and straightforwardness. However, now I encounter a
problem
that renders Shotwell pretty much unusable. When I start the
program
(on Ubuntu 14.04) the GUI comes up and Shotwell consumes 100% of
one
CPU
core. Shotwell continues to keep this core busy even if I wait a
long
time and the GUI is only partly responsive: I can look at pictures
and
change folders but when I empty the trash, the GUI hangs.
Likewise,
it's not possible to import images from my camera (used to work).
I
see
the message "Starting import" but nothing happens.
Is this a known problem? If yes, how can I fix it?
Please let me know if you need further information.
Thank you!
Titus
