Hallo devs,
i have some crashes with shotwell 0.8. It happens on import or on
library update. At the same time i get "Error: Directory NikonPreview
with 21313 entries considered invalid; not read." After some googling i
found this mail: http://osdir.com/ml/digikam-users/2010-08/msg00086.html
it says, this message come from lib exif2.
That's (almost) correct: this error message comes from the exiv2
library. We'd like to suppress it, but (at last until recently) the
library has insisted on writing these messages to standard output: see
http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1872 . It appears this may finally have
been fixed in the latest exiv2 release according to one of the comments
on that ticket.
I still can't find if this error is the reason of the crash. Some times
i get many of this errors and shotwell is working, some times it crashes
after few of them.
This error message is benign, and is almost certainly not the cause of
the crash you're observing.
My [future request] is to add some default verbosity. For example on
photo import shotwell should write to terminal the path of current
photo. So if it crashes i can find where it was.
Second: is to fix this message "Error: Directory NikonPreview with 21313
entries considered invalid; not read." it says almost nothing. It should
be some thing like this:
shotwell: read image, path: /home/bla/Bilder/someimage.jpg
libexiv2: can't parse exif of image: someimage.jpg
libexiv2: 'NikonPreview' entry is too big (21313 byte). Skip it.
As Lucas mentioned in his earlier reply, Shotwell does have a logging
facility which can write the path of each photo as it's imported. See
http://trac.yorba.org/wiki/Shotwell/FAQ .
