Hi, Each time I tried to create tags, I encounter a problem the next time I restart f-spot: --SNIP-- Unable to find active server: Name 'org.gnome.FSpot' does not exist. Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object in <0x000c8> TagStore:LoadAllTags () in <0x00050> TagStore:.ctor (Mono.Data.SqliteClient.SqliteConnection connection, Boolean is_new) in <0x000c2> Db:.ctor (System.String path, Boolean create_if_missing) in <0x001f6> Driver:Main (System.String[] args) --SNAP-- After some debugging with the source of the CVS version, I realized that the problem happens when loading Tags from the db, and only if the tags contains non-ascii characters... and I've a lot of friends with non-ascii characters in their names. Note that f-spot handled such names correctly while the session is open and that the name are stored correctly in the db. The faulty line generating an exception is this one (in TagStore.cs): string name = reader [1].ToString (); I know that this is probably not the perfect solution, but the attached patch below replaces unloadable names with a default string. This way, I can restart f-spot without cleaning the db (and then, recreating all tags each time :( ) Stephane, now an happy f-spot user
