Julie, I'm not an F-Spot developer, but I assume that F-Spot now has your CD photos in its database so it keeps trying to re-read the CD. Any F-Spot developers want to confirm? Here are some ideas to try: - Have you tried simply removing the CD from the drive and then starting F-Spot? If that works, remove the CD photos from the catalog (select the photos in F-Spot, right-click, select "Remove From catalog"). - Try putting in a formatted (burned) CD that has no files on it (maybe a CD-RW if you don't want to waste a CD-R). Maybe F-Spot won't fail when trying to read an empty CD. Then you can remove the CD photos from the catalog. - Last resort: You could try manually editing the F-Spot photo database to remove the CD photo files. The F-Spot database is stored in ~/.gnome2/f-spot. It's an SQLite database, and can probably be edited using SQLite commands, though I've never tried. But it might be better to try this than wiping out the photo database -- you'd lose all your tag info and photo edit info. Let me know what happens!

You can inform the developers of what happened to help them fix it. Or you can restart the application right now." There are two options to choose from, a button for "restart application" and one for "close". I have tried "restart application" but the error message is still there. Selecting the "close" button and then restarting the application also retains the error message. Even rebooting the system has not eliminated the error message. I installed F-Spot using F-spot-0.0.13-1mdk.i586.rpm on a Mandrake LE 2005 system. The system has 526MB memory and a Sempron 2500 CPU on a PC Chips M825G motherboard with on board graphics. Here's what I was doing when this error message appeared: I opened F-Spot and tried opening a folder of JPGs located on a CD. (The CD is one I burned and is easily accessable using GIMP or Kwickshow.) The error message appeared half-way through loading the files. Perhaps it would have been better to open a file on my hard drive... but being stuck in an error message loop, I am unable to test this. Other than un-installing F-Spot and re-installing it, do anyone have any suggestions?
