Re: [Shotwell] 100% CPU consumption

[Jim Nelson <jim yorba org>]

I don't recall any reported bug similar to this.  It would probably help to look in the Shotwell log file (~/.cache/shotwell/shotwell.log) and see if there's anything suspicious there.

Hi list, I'm a happy Shotwell user with a photo library containing around 3000 photos that I took over the last two years. I really like Shotwell's simplicity and straightforwardness. However, now I encounter a problem that renders Shotwell pretty much unusable. When I start the program (on Ubuntu 14.04) the GUI comes up and Shotwell consumes 100% of one CPU core. Shotwell continues to keep this core busy even if I wait a long time and the GUI is only partly responsive: I can look at pictures and change folders but when I empty the trash, the GUI hangs. Likewise, it's not possible to import images from my camera (used to work). I see the message "Starting import" but nothing happens. Is this a known problem? If yes, how can I fix it? Please let me know if you need further information. Thank you!
