[SOLVED] Shotwell Problem

[robertdaleweir]

Hi
I have been using Shotwell as my Photo Manager for sometime. I am having problems Importing Photos from Nikon camera and also from SD cards. When I try to import photos I get the error shown on the attachment.
The Kernel, where this occurs, is 3.3.0-4.fc16.x86_64, Gnome 3.2.1 and Shotwell 0.10.1. I am able to import Photos into Shotwell from another machine running Kernel 3.2.10-3.fc16.x86_64 and Gnome 3.2.1.
What has happened between these two kernels to render Shotwell inoperable or maybe it is library or something like that? I could not even get the Photos off of the SD itself, why?
Any help would be appreciated...

HI
An update:
Using Kernel 3.2.10-3 and problem is consistently NOT present. Two separate machines confirm this.
Using Kernel 3.3.0-4 and problem is consistently PRESENT. Two totally separate machines confirm this. (these are not the two machines mentioned above)
Admins should take note this is serious for the standard Photo manager Shotwell. I understand that 0.12.0 is going to be standard in F17. Maybe the issues will go away, but somehow I feel that it is a Kernel issue and not an issue with Shotwell; as the same version is installed on all 4 machines mentioned above. (0.10.1).

Hi
I have found out that a Bug with shotwell is creating the problem and the Kernel is NOT the issue. Sorry for any problems.
