This seems to be a rare case.
Or it was, because the last time shotwell ran very long
and there are some dangling pointers or so?


Freshly started and tried on some pictures, at least
the Path and Filesize are shown now, but not necessarily
resolution of the picture (what also is astouning).

I tried to copy the path from the Photos->Extended_Information
via X11's LeftMouseButton-Selection
and insert it into my terminal with MiddleMouseButton,
and that worked now :-)

  (Even without Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V, so the bare X11 mechanism is working from this
   extended information window, at least at the moment.)

But some pictures do not have a known dimension,
or at least it's  not displayed in the window from
Photos->Extended_Information. Because the view

Is this also a case, a screenshot is welcome for?
Or only in cases, where no kind of information is displayed?

P.S.: Some days ago I also had another strange problem: the view of a photograph
      changed orientation by n * 90 degrees, when zooming into it.
      And when zooming out, it toggled back to the former durection.
      Clicking on rotation of the view made the problem even more weird.

      Later I could not reproduse the problem, and also had other focus,
      rather oriented on looking for interesting pictures and give stars for them,
      so I stopped looking for problems then.
