Package: openshot
Version: 1.4.3-1
Severity: normal

Thanks for maintaining Debian's openshot package.

I like it.

I happened to notice that running openshot on the
command line and passing it a file ending with the
uppercase extension ".JPG" throws openshot into a
loop.

For example

    $ openshot file.JPG


Window after window is opened saying

    "Would you like to import file.JPG as an image sequence?

                Yes    No"


I let it keep running for about half a minute and
it showed no sign of stopping opening windows or
of becoming usable.

I revealed openshot's PID with

    $ ps aux | egrep openshot

and put it out of its misery with 

    $ kill -9 <PID of openshot>

A workaround for the bug is to copy or rename the
file to one with a lower case extension.

For example:

    $ cp file.JPG file.jpg

    $ openshot file.jpg

I hope that helps,
Kingsley
