Hi, I'm running Shotwell 0.18.0 on Ubuntu 14.04. I keep my photos, and
the database, on an external hard drive and run shotwell with the
datadir flag.
Today I have been trying to import photos from an SD card, but it
doesn't seem to be working, and I'm getting a lot of errors in the
terminal like this:
L 2392 2014-11-10 20:26:08 [CRT] EventDirectoryItem.vala:109: Unable
to fetch preview for Event [525/182535] New Camera: Failed to open
file
'/media/user/XTHD/Camera/thumbs/thumbs360/thumb0000000000000d2e.jpg': No
such file or directory
and then this at the bottom:
L 2392 2014-11-10 20:29:37 [CRT] AppWindow.vala:673: A fatal error
occurred when accessing Shotwell's library. Shotwell cannot continue.
(DatabaseTable.update_text_by_id_2 PhotoTable.filename) [11] - database
disk image is malformed
I'm also getting this popup in the GUI:
Shotwell
A fatal error occurred when accessing Shotwell's library. Shotwell
cannot continue.
(DatabaseTable.update_text_by_id_2 PhotoTable.filename) [11] -
database disk image is malformed
OK. So I tried to use my db.bk file but this gave me the 'malformed'
error immediately and closed Shotwell. So I went to my manual back up.
This will start up fine, until I leave it alone for a few minutes. Then,
It will just keep saying it's auto-importing photos, and it will do it
over and over again. It will get to 100%, then say it's preparing to
auto-import photos, then import to 100% again, and again. I have no idea
what it could be importing, as no camera is plugged in. Every time it
does this, the 'import' is slower and it slows down the rest of Shotwell
more.
Anyway, I am afraid to make a bigger mess than I already have, so any
advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
