Jan, the "entries considered invalid" errors are harmless - see http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1872 . They should go away once you update to a newer version of the libexiv2 library.
The hang you're experiencing is a bigger problem. Could you try importing again while generating a log file as described on this page? http://trac.yorba.org/wiki/ShotwellArchLogging Please post the log file here - that may give us a better idea of what's going on. Thanks! ** Bug watch added: trac.yorba.org/ #1872 http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1872 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/709516 Title: Shotwell import hangs always at the same point?! -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
