Don't background it. If you still want to see the log, tail it in a different term. Look in /var/log (possibly syslog) for any error messages. See if there is still a process for Shotwell running after a freeze. Pure guess, if you haven't got enough memory it may be the OOM killer in action.

I suspect it *is* busy. It's happened again. shotwell running in foreground. No diagnostics in logs file, terminal, or syslog.

According to System Monitor it definitely looks to be doing a lot. Memory: 1.8GB (16GB PC) 100%CPU. I'd selected about a dozen images to tag (Ctrl-T), and it was looking promising, and now just hanging. But I'm pretty sure it isn't.

From the terminal window:

10 minutes apart. And unrelated to anything I was doing in the program.

I'll leave it overnight and see what happens.
