Hi Jim,

I think my problem is related to the UTF-8 problem. I have a tag (with an umlaut) twice and deleted the second entry. After this shotwell does start up but it immediately closes with the same error message.

After I deleted the event of the video, the video entry itself and the duplicated tags shotwell started as expected.

I think it's time for a backup ;-)

Thx,
Martin

Martin,

I suspect this has something to do with some UTF-8 problems we've recently discovered. I don't think it means your database is corrupted, and hopefully we'll have a fix in trunk soon.

If this is really holding you up, you can go into the ~/.shotwell/data/photo.db file with the sqlite3 command-line tool and alter the TagTable. If you examine the tags by name:

SELECT name FROM TagTable;

you'll see two or more that look identical (probably with a diacritic or umlaut in their name). If you rename one to something different, I *think* you'll be in good shape.

    Hello,

    I've been testing Shotwell 0.8 and I noticed that dropping an
    avi-file on a tag made shotwell crash.
    Now I get this error while starting shotwell with this database:

    
ERROR:Tag.vala:185:tag_source_collection_real_notify_container_contents_added:
    assertion failed: (is_added)
    Abgebrochen

        We've been working diligently on Shotwell 0.8 and are looking
        to begin
        wrapping up this release.  Several exciting features have been
        added as well
        smaller additions and bug fixes.  This release includes such
        features as:

        * Video support, including uploading videos to various Web
        services
        (including YouTube)
        * Runtime monitoring and auto-import of the library directory
        * Metadata (tags, titles, rating) written to master files
        automatically
        * Flagging files for batch operations
        * Set multiple photos to desktop background slideshow
        * ... and more!

        We could use your help.  We need people to run Shotwell
        through its paces so
        we can make this release as rock-solid as possible.  If you're
        interested,
        follow the directions here for getting the source and building it:

        http://www.yorba.org/shotwell/install/#source

        Please note that Shotwell will *not* build with Vala 0.11.
         Use Vala 0.10.1
        if possible (Vala 0.9.7 is the minimum version).

        If you find bugs or issues -- anything that seems odd --
        please feel free to
        report them here on the mailing list or via our Trac ticketing
        system at:

        http://trac.yorba.org/

        Thanks for your continued support!
