Hi Joe, First, what do you mean by "rebuilding" the database? Do you mean deleting the database file entirely and then reimporting all of your photos?
Second, the error that you quoted: > shotwell: tiffcomposite.cpp:1049: virtual > uint32_t Exiv2::Internal::TiffBinaryArray::doCount() > const: Assertion `typeSize != 0' failed. Doesn't look like it's database related. It looks as if Shotwell can't write metadata to a certain TIFF image in your library. As a temporary workaround, you might want to try turning metadata writing off. More importantly though, it'd be useful to see on which photo Shotwell is failing and to get a copy of that photo. We might be able to determine which photo is causing Shotwell to crash by looking at Shotwell's log file. To learn how to turn on logging in Shotwell and capture a log file, see the "I found a bug in Shotwell. How can I report it?" section of the Shotwell FAQ here: http://redmine.yorba.org/projects/shotwell/wiki/ShotwellFAQ.
