Hi Gael, Thanks for submitting this bug report! Your bug appears to be yet another unfortunate symptom of this known problem: http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/4207. We've got the problem ticketed in our bug database and milestoned for the next release of Shotwell. So hopefully a fix will appear before too long!
