Hi Rolf, Apologies for bothering you and the list, but we've just committed a patch to trunk that should help you and other users affected by this. (Please note that this is in trunk and not in any repositories yet; it may take time for your distro's repository to reflect the change.)
Due to a previous bug, under the right conditions, it was possible for one's Shotwell database to have invalid values written to a given image's 'orientation' field. This patch forces this value to a safe one. Affected users may see that some images have inappropriately 'snapped' back to their original orientations, but no other data should be lost, and Shotwell will no longer crash here. In addition, the conditions under which the original corruption could occur should no longer be possible. For more details, please have a look at http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/4354. As always, thank you for reporting this, and thank you for your interest in Shotwell!
