[Shotwell] Shotwell 0.8 doesn't start

[nelson]

Although I'm not really in a hurry, I went ahead with the new database.

My pictures are split on two hard drives.  The pictures I have in ~/Pictures
loaded just fine (about 44,000 of them).

Then I started the importation of my older photo collection, mounted at
something like /media/DriveName/... It worked for a while, but got stuck on
a particular file.  I tried clicking the stop-sign "stop import" button, but
it still seemed to be stuck.  About 56,000 pictures are in the database now.

The file that seemed to cause the problem is unusual.  It is a
voice-annotation (.MPG) created with a Sony F707 camera.  I seldom used the
voice-annotation feature of that camera.

I imagine that the previous version of Shotwell (v0.7-something) ignored
that particular file because it is not a still image.  The new video support
in v0.8 may be tripping on this unusual sort of video file.

Is there a way to tell Shotwell to skip that one file?

Thanks,
Nelson
