Hi Kirk, It seems that you've burned by Shotwell Bug #4487 (http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/4487). It looks like what's happened here is that you've got a situation where your F-Spot database is malformed in a very specific way: there's an F-Spot database field that holds a string that represents the path to the actual photo file on disk (e.g., "/home/kirk/Pictures/DSCF001.JPG") and in one case in your database, that string is NULL. In an ideal world, this would never happen, because even if F-Spot can't find photo file on disk, it should still record its last-known path, so the path field in F-Spot's database would never be NULL. But, of course, we don't live in an ideal world... ;-)
That said, Shotwell should never crash, no matter how malformed your F-Spot database is. You'll be happy to know that Bruno Girin, one of our top Shotwell contributors, is working on this problem and we hope to have it fixed in the next major release of Shotwell (0.12).
