[Shotwell] Problem importing videos

[stone keeper]

hi Jim
the import does not pause on the same video each time. I guess it has
something to do with quantity of photos and/or videos.


i just tested the following:

a) started shotwell with loglevel=1

b) importet ALL avi videofiles (about 250) without any problems (only avi
videos)

c) tried to import only mpg (about 300)  files and after some videos import
stops,

I have attached the logfile hopefully you will find anything in it ;-) In
fact i can not identify the video that stops the import process. All
mentioned files in the log seems to be imported, even the last video visible
on importscreen (mov07858.mpg)

A little bit confusing: after importing all avi video files a lot of events
are doubled (e.g. shotwell displays event "Die 3.Aug,2010" four times!) -
maybe some metadata information is wrong here.

best regards
Horst
