Yes, please use gdb and see if you can get a stack trace of whereShotwell is hung. Does your photo library contain any symbolic links?Is it located on the local hard drive or external storage?


No symbolic links, and the photo library is on an internal hard drive.

I believe the hang happens when there is activity in the librarydirectory structure that shotwell is configured to continuously scan fornew activity.

In the scenario where I mv the library (shotwell not running), thenre-create the top-level directory, then restart shotwell, things are ok.shotwell does not hang, although there are no images or thumbnailsshowing. As would be expected. i.e.:


    mv /store1/images /store1/i
    mkdir /store1/images
    shotwell

Now if I tentatively copy a few images back into the library, e.g.

    mkdir -p /store1/images/2014/09/30
    cp -a /store1/i/2014/09/30/* /store1/images/2014/09/30

while shotwell is running, I get away with it. As long as I'm dealingwith just one or two images. Copying 30th Sep and 29th Sep were ok.


Now if I copy a bigger batch of images back, specific example:
    cp -a /store1/i/2014/09/28/* /store1/images/2014/09/28

then shotwell hangs.

My photo library now looks like:

This is my first time trying to use gdb so bear with me or tell me ifI've got it wrong.

I hit Ctrl-C after copying the ./2014/09/28 directory into the libraryand shotwell hung.
