Yes - probably best to run Shotwell like this:

$ SHOTWELL_LOG=1 shotwell

Thanks Adam,

I am going to do my best to reproduce what happened - I just made sure all my off line backups are up-to-date! Unfortunately I don't have my friends SD card any more (they took it home), but I am going to soak test the Shotwell importing a little with some other mass storage media. Any suggestions for the best way to capture what's going on? I can take some regular snaps of the FS, but should I be running Shotwell in some verbose logging mode?

    Odd.  It's not clear that this is the same problem reported by
    eraemaajaervi before, since in his case the photo files still
    existed but were corrupted, and in your case the files have zero
    length.  The mystery here is this: which process overwrote those
    files, and why?  Or is this corruption happening at the file
    system layer?

    I don't know that we can do anything more to debug this without
    information.  Can you try to reproduce this?  It might also be
    worth running fsck on your drive to make sure that the file system
    is OK.

        Worrying... I just reproduced this (ish).

        I imported a number of photos and videos from an SD card
        (using. USB mass
        storage card reader), did import all and thankfully didn't
        delete the
        originals.

        I edited (cropped, red eye) a few photos. Added some tags.
        Even printed a
        few. I exited Shotwell rebooted and went back in. The
        thumbnails started
        disappearing as Shotwell rescanned my pictures folder. When I
        looked in the
        file system the files are now all zero length!

        This is probably going to be hard to reproduce, but being the
        second
        "corruption" issue in a week I'm more than a little worried.

            I can't reproduce this. tried importing a couple of times,
            even with
            deletion, but always a success. I will try it with a
            bigger load of

        pictures
