The crash has been fixed. The issue was that we were crashing on images
that did not have valid exif meta-data. We are now checking for that and
not crashing.

However we discovered a related bug (not a regression, has always been
there), where certain file types are not supported in the gallery, like
.gif and .svg. If you try to download a file of this type you will get
no error but the photo will not show up in the gallery and there is no
warning. This is tracked https://bugs.launchpad.net/gallery-
app/+bug/1403205 but is not related to this fix.

Also, so images on flickr are not legally allowed to be downloaded. If
you attempt to download them on a desktop browser it will tell you the
photographer has disallowed downloading. On Ubuntu Touch in Flick using
the steps above, a bogs 1x1 gif is downloaded when you attempt to
download a file that is copy protected. Again there is not feedback to
the user.
