[Shotwell] Shotwell 0.18.1 crashes after a minute

[Michael Hendry <hendry michael gmail com>]

I’ve recently upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04, and installed Shotwell 0.18.1.

After a short spell of “Updating library” there is a period during which I can use Shotwell, but after a 
total of about a minute, the display greys out, and the program shuts down.

If I run Shotwell from the command line I get this:


(shotwell:3394): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkScrolledWindow 0x11707130 is mapped but visible child GtkScrollbar 
0x8b54798 is not mapped

ERROR:/build/buildd/shotwell-0.18.1/src/Photo.vala:3330:photo_get_pixbuf_with_options: assertion failed: 
(pixbuf != null)
Aborted (core dumped)


Any advice? Suggestions as to further investigation?
