Added info: If I first do an edit - any edit - using Shotwell itself so that it creates a changed file on disk, I can then edit the image with an external editor without problems.
So the issue seems to be connected to creating an editable copy of the image when triggering the action by using an external editor. Or possibly by using gimp, specifically, as the external editor? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Studio Bugs, which is subscribed to shotwell in Ubuntu.

The image opens in Gimp, but Shotwell crashes. Save the image, open shotwell (order doesn't matter). * The image thumbnail doesn't change proportions to the edited image, resulting in squashed image. And rotated images lose their rotation information on screen. The underlying edited image is unaffected. This happens only with images edited with the crash above; previous images are fine. * I am unable to permanently change associated data such as the grade/stars. Once I quite Shotwell those changes are gone. Again, this affects only images edited as above. * This happened with the update to Wily Werewolf (Shotwell 0.22.0-Ubuntu5). Previous Shotwell version in Vivid was fine.
