Can you try if the crash also happens if you select any image > before starting the import? Actually, what happens is that I had forgotten to select images during export. So I have a folder with the images and a kim file that is mostly empty [I openned a terminal and used less to confirm that was the case.] kpa creates the destination folder and does not move images displaying a fault message. This seems consistent behavior. My work around consists of the following process: 1. System level copy of the folder created by export, and all the files there in. Drag and drop in Dolphin works; midnight commander is much more efficient. 2. Select Maintenance/Rescan add the images themselves to the database. 3. File/import any salvaged image information; it does not matter if I deselect the image names during the import dialog. If there is information, then it is added. If there is no information, there is no fault produced. I am in process of salvaging a database of many thousands of images. I upgraded my computer, Ubuntu 18.04 to Ubuntu 20.04, kpa going from 5.3 to 5.8. 20+ years of gathered family photos are what I am trying to salvage. I reinstalled Ubuntu 18.04 on the computer; the database works. Preserving the folder structure and the database seems to require 1.2K+ select and export operations, folder by folder, not all of which I perform flawlessly. I then boot the computer into Ubuntu 20.04, and import the folders one at a time. I could not find a better way. This has to be an edge case. The cause of the fault is forgetting to do a select all before the export. The procedure outlined above consistently overcomes the fault Thank you for the reply, John -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
