Fwd: serious problem with upgrade to ubuntu 9.10q

[Jean Levasseur <levasseur jean gmail com>]

F-Spot suddently doesn't like those pictures containing some special characters in their path or name, such as ":" for example.  The only way I could get throught this was with a little python script that detects this character (:) in filenames, replace it by and underscore in both the filename and the database.  The script only looks for filenames, not the actual path, so if the characters are in the path you will have to modify it slightly.  Note that the path to the database file (variable db) in the script points to my photos.db, so you will have to modify it.  I strongly suggest to backup your $HOME/.config/photos.db before you do, and to search for those filenames that f-spot doesn't accept (containing special characters) before to run the script, so you will know in advance what to look for.  The script is located here: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/345891/

 

See ya!

Hello,

I think I have the same problem. F-spot starts normally. When I want to see the thumbnails or the photos of March and February 2009, F-spot stops.
You can see the error message in the joined file.
Is it really the same problem than Mary ? If yes, is it the same solution ?

Thank you.
Have a very nice Christmas !

Mary,

Please send me your photos.db, I'll update it for you and fix the code
for the others.

hello,
I am getting a little desperate so I'm hoping there is someone who can
help.  I have used f-spot continuously for about 4 years and now have
7 years worth of photos tagged in my photos.db.  I backed up my
photos.db before doing a clean install of Ubuntu 9.10.  F-spot now
crashes when I try to use it with the new database (the photos are
saved on a separate drive).  The terminal errors are copied below.  At
this point, if someone could even just explain how I can downgrade to
a prior version of f-spot that would be better than losing the tagging
entirely.

But right now I'm in a panic at losing 7 years of tags.  Any help
would be much appreciated.
Mary
